Ireland winger Robert Baloucoune sidelined for three months after elbow injury
Robert Baloucoune, named Six Nations Rising Star, will miss up to three months after elbow surgery, risking absence for Ulster's final but possibly available for Ireland's summer tour.
- On Thursday, Ulster confirmed Robert Baloucoune will miss up to three months after surgery for an elbow injury sustained last week on international duty.
- During the Six Nations match last week, Baloucoune left Ireland's 43-21 win against Scotland with 15 minutes remaining after suffering an elbow injury, which occurred on international duty.
- The 28-year-old Baloucoune, who claimed the BKT Rising Star and scored 11 tries in 12 matches, is set to miss up to three months after surgery.
- That development leaves Ulster facing selection headaches ahead of the season's climax, with the injury potentially ruling him out for the rest of the campaign, as Ulster's campaign is at risk.
- Baloucoune remains in contention for the July tour, subject to recovery, and should still be available for selection for Ireland national team’s summer matches against Australia, Japan and New Zealand, finishing at Eden Park.
