Ireland captain Doris out for up to 6 months after shoulder surgery

DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland and Leinster captain Caelan Doris is out for up to six months after shoulder surgery. 'Caelan Doris had a procedure on Friday last week for a shoulder injury which will keep him out of action for between four to six months,' Leinster said in a statement on Monday. Doris was injured on May 3 as Leinster lost to Northampton 37-34 in the Champions Cup semifinals. The injury cost the No. 8 a place in what would have been his first British and Irish Lions squad. Doris was also favored to captain the Lions on the tour of Australia next month. If 27-year-old Doris' recovery doesn't suffer setbacks, he could be available for Ireland's November tests. The Irish are scheduled to face New Zealand, Japan, Australia and world champion South Africa.

Ireland's Doris ruled out for up to six months

May 12 (Reuters) - Ireland forward Caelan Doris is set to be sidelined for up to six months after undergoing shoulder surgery, his club Leinster said on Monday. The 27-year-old picked up the injury in Leinster's European Rugby Champions Cup semi-final loss to Northampton Saints this month. Doris, who had been vying with Maro Itoje for the British & Irish Lions captaincy, was left out of Andy Farrell's 38-man squad to tour Australia. "Caelan Doris had a procedure on Friday last week for a shoulder injury which will keep him out of action for between four to six months," Leinster said in a statement. Doris will miss Ireland's tests against Georgia and Portugal in July and is doubtful for their November games against New Zealand, Japan, Australia and South Africa.

Caelan Doris set for long lay-off after shoulder injury scuppers Lions hopes

Caelan Doris could face as many as six months out of action after his British and Irish Lions hopes were wrecked by a shoulder injury. The Ireland No 8 had been a leading contender to be named captain of the quadrennial tourists by head coach Andy Farrell before sustaining the injury in the Leinster 's Investec Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton. The 27-year-old underwent surgery on Friday, a day after Maro Itoje was confirmed as skipper of the Lions squad, and now faces a race to be fit for the November internationals after a bitter blow. His Dublin club confirmed in a statement: 'Caelan Doris had a procedure on Friday last week for a shoulder injury which will keep him out of action for between four to six months.' Doris was an all-but-certain tourist to Australia before the cruellest of setbacks having emerged as a pillar of consistency in Ireland's back row under Farrell over the last four years. The No 8 had started 40 of his national side's last 43 Tests, putting him in a strong position to vie for the captaincy with England lock Itoje. In the absence of Doris, Farrell has opted to take a club and country colleague in Jack Conan and Ben Earl as his leading options at the back of the scrum, with Jac Morgan, Henry Pollock and Tom Curry also having featured occasionally at the position. 'As you can imagine, he's devastated,' Farrell said last week having spoken to Doris after his injury. 'He would have definitely been in the mix, such an experienced player and leader. 'It's devastating for people like that. But the stories are constant in every single tour and sport can be cruel sometimes. But Caelan will be back bigger and stronger.'

Caelan Doris out for up to six months after shoulder surgery

Leinster and Ireland captain Caelan Doris has been ruled out for four to six months with a shoulder injury. The backrower had a procedure last Friday for his injury he sustained during the Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton. Doris was not named in Andy Farrell's 38-strong group for the Lions Tour last week, indicating a lengthy upcoming absence 'I have [spoken to him],' said Farrell, when asked about the 27-year-old Doris. 'You can imagine he's devastated. He would have definitely been in the mix [to be Lions captain], he's such an experienced player and leader.' READ MORE Meanwhile, James Ryan came through the game against Zebre at the weekend with no issues after his return from injury. James Culhane will be further assessed this week for an arm injury, while there are no further updates on Jordan Larmour, Will Connors and Brian Deeny. Leinster will play Glasgow Warriors at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday in the United Rugby Championship (KO: 7.35pm, live on RTÉ2 and Premier Sports 1).
