Munster's Andrew Conway will be sidelined for three to four months after knee rehabilitation surgery

MUNSTER AND IRELAND WINGER ANDREW CONWAY will be out for three or four months confirmed Munster Rugby today. 

The 31-year-old underwent a procedure on his knee last week and is expected to continue his rehabilitation with the medical department for the coming three to four months. 

The setback means the Ireland international could also miss the rest of the season for Munster.  

He first picked up the knee injury in February of 2022, before aggravating it in Ireland's Six Nations win against England at Twickenham in March. 

Despite featuring for Munster last May, the injury has forced him to have surgery last week.

It's a huge blow for Andy Farrell, Munster and Ireland, but Ireland especially has the depth to cope with the loss.

Calvin Nash will follow also follow a period of rehabilitation with the medical department. 

Meanwhile RG Snyman is increasing his training load. The Springbok has been out 16 months after suffering a second successive anterior cruciate ligament injury in October 2021. 

Graham Rowntree's side welcome the Ospreys to Thomond Park on Friday, February 17 in the latest round of the United Rugby Championship.  

The game starts at 7.35pm
