Sam Warburton out with fractured cheekbone

Wales captain Sam Warburton will have surgery on a fractured cheekbone and faces a race to be fit for the Test against Australia on 5 November.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury in a clash of heads with Josh van der Flier during Cardiff Blues' 13-16 defeat by Leinster on Saturday.

He will have a small plate inserted in his face and is expected to be out for two to four weeks.
