Saracens given Will Fraser fitness boost?

The shoulder injury recently suffered by Saracens flanker Will Fraser is reported to be less severe than first feared.

The 23-year-old was forced off with the problem during Friday's 23-17 victory over Connacht in the Heineken Cup.

It was initially believed that the injury was a recurrence of the muscle tear that kept Fraser out of action for five months last season.

However, scans have since revealed that he should only be out of action for around two weeks, according to the Times Series.

Saracens return to Heineken Cup action on Friday when they face Toulouse at Wembley Stadium.
