Elliot Daly will have a scan on a wrist injury that he sustained during the British and Irish Lions’ 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane on Wednesday.
Daly, the England utility back, was a late addition to Andy Farrell’s starrting XV after Irishman Hugo Keenan - who was in line for his Lions debut - withdrew through illness.
The Saracens man started the Lions’ first match Down Under against the Western Force, where the tourists underwhelmed, but ultimately came through 54-7 in Perth.
Daly’s inclusion meant that he was one of just two survivors from Farrell’s starting XV, along with fly-half Finn Russell.
Daly assisted Tommy Freeman’s levelling try in Brisbane and again staked his claim for the Test 15 jersey with a positive display, though Blair Kinghorn is hot on his heels after his late arrival in Australia.
Keenan is expected to return for the visit to the Waratahs in Sydney, and it remains to be seen what role the Scot Kinghorn will play, and how long Daly could be ruled out for.
Asked about the Englishman afterwards, Farrell admitted that his No15 was “pretty sore”, with TV cameras picturing the full-back icing his wrist, grimacing in pain.
"He's got a bang on the forearm and he's going for an X-ray this evening so we've all got our fingers crossed,” Farrell said.
"I'm not worried, we've got loads of full-backs. Keenan will be ready in a day or so and Kinghorn is good to go."
The Lions continue their tour against the Brumbies on July 12 in Canberra, before one final warm-up match on July 12 in Adelaide against an Australia and New Zealand XV.
The first Test match against the Wallabies takes place on July 19, back at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
