The Performance Medicine Team has issued an update as the Senior Men's squad continue pre-season preparations.
Ulster Rugby can confirm that captain, Iain Henderson, has successfully undergone hip surgery this summer and as a result, will be unavailable for a number of months.
We can also confirm that Bryn Ward (shoulder), Juarno Augustus (ankle), and Jude Postlethwaite (knee) have had surgeries performed during the off-season and all are currently undergoing a period of rehabilitation for their respective injuries.
