The Saracens and England international fly-half has been sidelined since suffering a knee ligament injury - during a Champions Cup pool stage defeat against Clermont - in January. He missed the entire Six Nations campaign as a result, with Bath's George Ford filling the No.10 shirt in accomplished fashion as England finished second behind title winners Ireland. Asked if he hoped to be back for the semi-final, Farrell told BT Sport: "I'm hoping to be. The knee is feeling good. "I did everything yesterday - ran, kicked, tackled, got stuck in. I was blowing a bit, but I was alright "So we will see how I get on in training this week, and we'll make a decision then." Saracens return to Aviva Premiership action this weekend against play-off rivals Leicester at Allianz Park, before tackling Clermont in Saint Etienne seven days later. © ESPN Staff
