EDINBURGH :Scotland prop Zander Fagerson is in the reckoning for a long-awaited return to the team, returning to full training this week ahead of Sunday’s test against Argentina.

Flyhalf Finn Russell also looks to have shrugged off the injuries that saw him limp through parts of last weekend’s narrow loss to New Zealand at Murrayfield.

Fagerson, 29, has not played since early April because of calf and knee problems and missed out on the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia earlier this year.

The tighthead was not deemed ready to return last Saturday, but scrum coach Pieter de Villiers said he had been training and would be involved in Sunday’s test or Scotland's last November international against Tonga on November 23.
