Leinster have suffered a blow after wing Fergus McFadden was ruled out of action for four months following a procedure on his hamstring.
Backs coach Felipe Contepomi issued an update on injuries when he spoke to the media ahead of Leinster’s PRO14 fixture against the Kings.
He confirmed that McFadden had a procedure over the weekend on a high-grade hamstring injury and will be out of the game until March.
In other news, Leinster full-back Rob Kearney took a knock to his shoulder in last week’s bonus-point victory over Benetton Rugby. Kearney is in the Ireland squad ahead of the November internationals and will be further assessed by Irish Rugby Football Union medics this week.
Dave Kearney is due to return to full training this week having recovered from his adductor injury.
