| Efforts to get Gavin Henson into contention for a place against Leicester in the EDF Energy Cup Final have been ended when his knee adversely reacted to a running session. |
Henson has a posterior cruciate ligament injury. Generally the prognosis for such an injury involves a recovery period of up three months, but until this morning our medical team had been hopeful that this period could have been significantly reduced. The Ospreys now anticipate that the Welsh test player will have to undergo a further six to eight weeks rehabilitation period.
"This effectively rules Gavin out for the remainder of this season," said Ospreys Physio Brian Downey. "He has made a massive effort to get himself available for the EDF Energy Cup final, but as is often the case with this type of injury there is no substitute for prolonged physiotherapy. Our focus will now be on getting Gavin back to fitness as soon as possible but as it is likely to take six to eight weeks his Ospreys season looks to have ended." |
