Injury blow for Fergus McFadden as his Leinster career winds down

Fergus McFadden

Fergus McFadden's hopes of finishing his career on a high have been tempered by the news that the veteran has suffered a calf injury and will be on the sidelines for six weeks.

That would rule the versatile back out of the two interpros this month, the knockout stages of the PRO14 which follow and the Champions Cup quarter-final against Saracens. It also leaves him touch and go to make a European semi-final too, should Leinster make it that far.
