Ruby sidelined for ten weeks

RUBY WALSH faces a long spell on the sidelines following his fall from Celestial Halo in the Aintree Hurdle at Liverpool on Saturday.

Walsh met orthopaedic surgeon, Bill Quinlan, in Dublin yesterday and was informed he can expect to be out of action for about ten weeks.

“My left upper arm is broken in two places and, while I would obviously have preferred if this didn’t happen, it is part of the job and such is life, “ said Ruby. “My arm is in a cast and there is not a whole lot I will be able to do over the next few weeks other than hope it heals well and see when I can get back.”
