Maro Itoje making 'good progress' from injury - Steve Borthwick

England forwards coach Steve Borthwick revealed that Saracens lock Maro Itoje is making a steady progress from the knee injury that he sustained during the Six Nations opening game against Ireland.

Itoje, who played 53 minutes in the game in Dublin was forced to miss the second round clash against France but has now returned to the training camp ahead of the game against Wales.

Even though, he has resumed training, Borthwick said the decision on his participation in the game at Millennium Stadium will be taken in due course of time.

"We talked about Maro being [available for] the latter part of the tournament and that's still the case," England forwards coach Borthwick told Sky Sports News.

"He's making really good progress, each day getting that bit better.

"Will he be available for Wales? We always go on a day-by-day basis. He's healing fast.

"It's great he's been around the squad, having his input and getting on with his training. Our strength and conditioning and medical teams are working exceptionally hard with him."

England co-captain Dylan Hartley, who missed the opening two rounds has also resumed light training but is unlikely to feature against Wales while Ellis Genge has been withdrawn from the training camp after having a sore ankle.
