Bell joins Ulster’s long injury list

JONNY BELL is the latest Ulster casualty prior to Friday’s Celtic League game against Llanelli at Ravenhill.

Bell's defection comes on the back of news that Lions lock Jeremy Davidson (replaced by Mark Blair) is out for at least another two weeks.

Bell limped off during Friday's Heineken Cup victory over Cardiff and it was confirmed yesterday that he had torn a medial ligament in his left knee. It will keep the former international centre sidelined for at least three weeks.
