Injury and squad update / Diweddariad anafiadau a’r garfan

With a new season fast approaching an extended squad has been training with Pontypridd RFC and with minimal injury disruption.

As ever there are aches and strains in need of tlc with some players given an extended rest period over the summer holiday, but the majority of the squad back in harness and training hard under the direction of conditioning coach Darren Bool.

Two long term absentees are prop Jon Elley and centre Jarrad Rees, both having undergone surgery on bicep and ankle damage respectively, and in need of further assessment.

Centre Dafydd Lockyer is recovering well from the ankle injury he suffered towards the end of the previous campaign, and is all set to feature at the commencement of the next.

The make-up of the extended Pontypridd squad has in the meantime been amended as prop Tom Mably has departed but Morgan Bosanko from Pontyclun drafted in to cover the position.

Gyda’r tymor newydd ar y gorwel mae carfan estynedig CR Pontypridd wedi bod yn ymarfer gydag ond ychydig o anafiadau i’w llethu.

Yn ol y disgwyl mae mân boenau sydd angen eu mwytho a rhai chwaraewyr wedi cael cyfnod estynedig o orffwys dros yr haf, ond y mwyafrif o’r garfan yn ddiwyd dan ofalaeth yr hyfforddwr ffitrwydd Darren Bool.

Dau sy’n absennol am gyfnod hirach yw’r prop Jon Elley a’r canolwr Jarrad Rees, y ddau yn eu tro wedi derbyn llawdriniaeth ar anafiadau i’r fraich a’r ffêr, ac angen asesiad ychwanegol.

Mae’r canolwr Dafydd Lockyer yn adfer yn dda o’r anaf i’w ffêr a ddioddefodd tua diwedd y tymor blaenorol, ac yn disgwyl bod yn barod at gychwyn y tymor i ddod.

Mae mân newidiadau wedi eu gwneud i gyfansoddiad carfan estynedig Pontypridd, gyda’r prop Tom Mably yn ymadael ond Morgan Bosanko o Bontyclun wedi ei alw mewn i lanw’r bwlch.
