Cardiff Rugby boss Dai Young says Wales duo Liam Williams and Josh Navidi are edging closer to a return to action ahead of the upcoming festive programme.
Williams, a marquee summer signing for the Blue and Blacks, has been sidelined ever since his debut was cut short by a shoulder injury back in September.
The 31-year-old stayed down after finding himself on the receiving end of a tackle by Munster's Calvin Nash, and later had surgery on his collarbone. The issue ruled him out of Wales' autumn campaign, and he was also considered a doubt for the upcoming festive schedule.
