Leinster's Robbie Henshaw is out until the new year due to wrist injury

LEO CULLEN has provided fresh injury updates for Leinster supporters today and it is not good news for centre Robbie Henshaw.

Henshaw who missed the majority of Ireland's Autumn internationals against South Africa, Fiji and Australia will now not play again until the new year thanks to a wrist injury.

He will also miss the first games of Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup run , as well as three interprovincial derbies in the league.

Johnny Sexton and Charlie Ngatai's fitness will also be assessed later on during the week.

James Lowe and Jordan Larmour, who are back in full training after recovering from calf and foot injuries respectively.

Harry Byrne and Rónan Kelleher also came through the Glasgow game without any recurrent hiccups. So did Ryan Baird after completing his return-to-play protocols.

There were no further updates on Martin Moloney (knee), Ciarán Frawley (knee), Will Connors (bicep), James Tracy (neck), Charlie Ryan (knee) and Tommy O’Brien (knee).

Leinster take on Ulster in this Saturday’s BKT United Rugby Championship game. The match takes place at the RDS Arena (KO: 7.35pm – live on TG4, Premier Sports and URC TV).
