Wales have confirmed that fly-half Dan Biggar is making "excellent progress" in his recovery from an ankle injury ahead of this weekend's Six Nations clash against Scotland.

The 26-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain 21 minutes into Wales's 16-16 draw against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.

There were fears that Biggar could be ruled out of the rest of the tournament, but the Welsh Rugby Union has revealed that the injury is not "long term".

A statement from the WRU read: "Dan Biggar has made excellent progress with his recovery following the ankle injury sustained against Ireland on Sunday.

"Indications are that the injury is not considered long term and decisions over his availability for this weekend will be made later in the week. The squad meet back up tomorrow (Wednesday) to prepare for the clash against Scotland at Principality Stadium on Saturday."

Wales are fourth in the table after the first round of fixtures.
