Another Munster injury blow as Jean Kleyn ruled out for season

BLOW: Munster's Jean Kleyn

Munster have suffered a fresh injury blow with news that Jean Kleyn has been ruled out for the rest of the season, having undergone knee surgery.

The South African World Cup winner had already been out since November with an eye injury suffered in the URC defeat by Leinster. But with the problem slow to heal, Munster confirm the lock has opted to undergo surgery on an ongoing knee issue and will not return to play this season.
