Nigel Carolan has confirmed that Huw Jones still faces several months on the sidelines, outlining why the centre is completing the bulk of his rehabilitation away from the Glasgow Warriors squad. The approach, described by the club's medical staff, is built around a phased programme designed to safeguard long-term health and optimise a return to peak form for the rigours of professional rugby.
Jones's rehabilitation is tailored to his injury history, with specialists supervising strength and mobility work, as well as a gradual reintroduction to contact and on-field drills. Working outside the first-team environment allows for focused, personalised recovery without disrupting squad preparation or risking minor issues becoming setbacks.
Officials emphasise that the timeline is provisional, contingent on medical assessments and functional milestones. While supporters may hope for a quicker return, the emphasis remains on a safe, sustainable comeback rather than a rushed return.
As Jones progresses, Glasgow Warriors will monitor his progress and provide updates as milestones are reached, with the wider squad continuing to prepare for upcoming fixtures in the meantime.
