Iain Henderson ruled out for Toulouse game after ‘significant hamstring tear’

Ulster have revealed that their squad has been decimated by injuries ahead of their back-to-back European Champions Cup matches against Toulouse.

The province confirmed that Iain Henderson suffered a “significant hamstring tear” during last Friday's Pro12 win over Edinburgh.

Henderson will have to visit a surgeon to establish how long he'll be sidelined for.

Darren Cave will also miss the Toulouse matches with a shoulder problem while full-back Peter Nelson's season is over after he dislocated his mid-foot in last weekend's game.

Dan Tuohy has a fractured ankle, which will keep him out for at least two months, although Roger Wilson, who missed Friday’s encounter, is expected to be available.
