Iain Henderson to Miss Start of Ulster Rugby Season After Surgery
Ulster Rugby captain Iain Henderson will be unavailable for several months at the start of the new season due to hip surgery he underwent during the summer.
The 34-year-old has earned 86 caps for Ireland, with his last appearance being against New Zealand in November. He also missed the end of the previous season due to a suspension from a red card received in a match against the Stormers.
Henderson, who debuted for Ulster in April 2012 and captained the team since 2019, is not the only injury concern for Ulster as they prepare for their season opener against Edinburgh on September 25. Other players, including Bryn Ward, Juarno Augustus, and Jude Postlethwaite, are also recovering from surgeries.
