Ruby facing lengthy spell on sidelines

RUBY WALSH faces many months on the sidelines, after sustaining a double fracture of his right leg in a fall off Corrick Bridge at Down Royal on Saturday.

Walsh took a crashing tumble at the fifth fence and was immediately attended by the medics on the course.

He was soon removed to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, where he was found to have broken the tibia and fibula in his leg.
