Zebo ruled out for 10 weeks with broken foot

Simon Zebo, below, has been ruled out until Christmas with a cracked bone in his left foot.

Zebo, who limped out of last Saturday’s Heineken Cup defeat at Edinburgh, visited a specialist in Dublin yesterday and a bone scan revealed the crack that will sideline him for approximately 10 weeks.

Zebo will miss Munster’s next three Heineken Cup pool games, against Gloucester on Saturday and the home and away matches with Perpignan in mid-December, between which the 23-year-old will have to sit out Ireland’s November Tests against Samoa, Australia and New Zealand.
