Hugo Keenan has been ruled out of action until the New Year after undergoing surgery on his hip, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has confirmed.
The fullback underwent the operation following the conclusion of the British and Irish Lions tour victory against Australia Down Under and it will now see him sit out Ireland’s autumn internationals as well as a number of significant Leinster fixtures in the first of their season.
