Henderson Adds To Ireland's Injury Woes

The Ulster Rugby medical team have issued a squad update following Saturday’s Champions Cup fixture against Leicester Tigers.

Iain Henderson suffered a finger injury that is likely to keep him sidelined for several weeks. This fresh injury is unrelated to his recently injured thumb.

Henderson's injury adds to Ireland's woes following the news that Tadgh Beirne will miss the opening two games with a knee injury.

Sean Reidy suffered a hand injury which will require surgery later this week. Billy Burns sustained a concussion and will follow the return to play protocols. Marcell Coetzee sustained a hamstring injury and will be scanned today.
