O'Shea to miss start of next season
May 3, 2001

London Irish captain Conor O'Shea will be out for at least five more months after suffering during his recovery from an ankle injury.

Former Ireland full-back O'Shea, 30, has been sidelined since breaking his ankle during his club's Premiership clash against Gloucester more than five months ago.

Further surgery has been required after a complication set in, which will delay any first team return until at least next October.

A London Irish spokesman said: "Over recent weeks, as Conor tested his ankle to gauge how well it was recovering from the original fracture, complications arose that resulted in a further operation.

"Conor's ankle has been re-set, and will be in plaster for eight weeks. He will not be able to play competitive rugby until October at the earliest."
