Following last weekend's Ireland game and Ulster's win over Edinburgh, there are a series of injuries within the squad.
Rory Best underwent successful surgery this morning (Tuesday) to stabilise the fracture that he sustained in Ireland's narrow defeat to New Zealand on Sunday. He is expected to return to rugby in mid to late January.
Iain Henderson had an MRI Scan yesterday (Monday) on the hamstring injury that he suffered in Ulster's win over Edinburgh. The scan confirmed that he has a hamstring tear and that he will be out of rugby for up to six weeks.
Lewis Stevenson sustained medial ligament damage in his right knee against Edinburgh. He will be out for up to six weeks. Michael Allen was concussed in the Edinburgh game and will now follow the normal return-to-play protocols. Ian Porter irritated his AC joint ahead of the Edinburgh game and is expected to be unavailable for two weeks. Nick Williams suffered a calf injury ahead of the match against Edinburgh. He will be out for between four and six weeks.
Darren Cave and Luke Marshall had cramp in the Edinburgh game but are expected to be available for selection this weekend. Johann Muller and Jared Payne have been progressing well through their rehab. A decision on their involvement at the weekend will be taken later in the week.
