Henson back for Ospreys

Gavin Henson will return to action in the Ospreys' Heineken Cup clash against Gloucester on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Wales and Lions centre has been sidelined since breaking a bone in his left hand during the Ospreys' EDF Energy Cup victory over Harlequins on December 2.

He starts his comeback just 48 hours before Wales coach Warren Gatland announces his squad for this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Henson will play alongside Sonny Parker in midfield, and Shane Williams also returns to the side after recovering from injury.

The Ospreys must beat Guinness Premiership leaders Gloucester at the Liberty Stadium to keep alive their hopes of a quarter-final place.
