McCoy back on Thursday

Tony McCoy expects to be back in action on Thursday after recovering from the injuries sustained in a fall last month.

The 16-time champion jockey has been sidelined since December 30 after fracturing his ribs and bruising his lungs in a fall at Taunton.

McCoy saw a specialist on Monday and after receiving a positive update, he is planning to return to the saddle later this week at Warwick.

He told the Daily Mail: "The doctor is very happy so I should be back on Thursday."
