Billy Vunipola is set to return to training at Saracens today, as the club prepare to hold meetings to decide whether their veteran No 8 should face any action for his arrest and court appearance in Majorca.
The 31-year-old was off duty and at home in Hertfordshire yesterday, as he and his team-mates had an additional day off following their trip to the Balearics – as there is no fixture this weekend.
Saracens are due to reconvene at their base outside St Albans on Wednesday morning to begin their build-up to a crucial Premiership showdown with Bristol at Ashton Gate on May 11.
Before then, Vunipola will discover whether he will be punished for events in Palma in the early hours of last Sunday morning, when he had to be tasered twice before being restrained by Police.
He released a statement apologising for his conduct, after being fined €240 (£205) and handed a suspended four-month jail sentence for resisting arrest and assaulting a Police officer.
