Leinster confirm Johnny Sexton is likely to miss the rest of this season:
LEINSTER HAVE CONFIRMED the worst fears over Johnny Sexton’s groin injury, with the province announcing that the 37-year-old is likely to miss the rest of this season.
The Leinster captain injured his groin as Ireland claimed the Grand Slam against England in Dublin two weekends ago and Leinster have now confirmed that the issue requires surgery.“Johnny Sexton will see a specialist on Tuesday and have a procedure on the groin injury picked up in Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations game against England which will likely keep him sidelined for the remainder of the Leinster Rugby season,” reads a statement from Leinster this afternoon.
Leinster have lots of cover at out-half, with Ross Byrne, Harry Byrne, Ciarán Frawley, and academy duo Charlie Tector and Sam Prendergast all in the province, but the talismanic Sexton will obviously be missed.
