WORCESTER Warriors are sweating on the fitness of Ben Hinshelwood before Sunday's visit to London Irish.
The Scotland international pulled out of Saturday's European Challenge Cup defeat at Brive with back spasms and Worcester are keeping their fingers crossed that the centre comes thr-ough training this week.
Hinshelwood missed Wor-cester's Premiership kick-off back in September with this back problem and the centre was devastated to miss out on the Warriors' Challenge Cup second leg in France.
Worcester went down 40-10 to bow out of the competition and now await the European Shield draw.
"We're desperately disappointed by the first half performance in Brive," said head coach Andy Keast.
