Henshaw Set For Spell on Sidelines

Robbie Henshaw is set for an extended spell on the sidelines and is in danger of missing his Ireland's November test series after the full extent of his pectoral muscle injury has been revealed.

The Leinster centre was injured during the Lions 31-31 draw with the Hurricanes and left the stadium with his arm in a sling.

It was initially thought that Henshaw had suffered a shoulder injury but is was later discovered that he had suffered a major pectoral muscle injury and that he will be out of action for up to four months.

Lions medical chief Dr Eanna Falvey revealed the Henshaw had torn the muscle off the bone and said: "The muscle needs to be reattached, and that's usually about a 16-week recovery.

"He may do slightly better, but that's probably what we're looking at."
