Gloucester centre Henry Trinder undergoes knee surgery

Trinder has had to undergo further surgery on his right knee and will be ruled out of playing action, the club confirms.

The 27-year-old centre battled back to fitness last season following an injury to the same knee in February 2015, but suffered a new injury towards the end of the season.

The new injury is not as severe as the previous one but surgical repair was deemed to be necessary. Henry underwent the procedure last week and will now embark upon an extended rehabilitation programme.
