ADAM ASHE will be out until 2017 after undergoing an operation on a hip injury, Glasgow Warriors have confirmed.
The Scotland international backrower sustained a knock to his foot during last season's Pro12 play-off defeat to Connacht.
Warriors annouced today that he has undergone surgery on an 'underlying hip injury' and Ashe is expected to be out of action for the rest of 2016 as a result.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: “We’re all disappointed for Adam that he’s going to be out for a longer period of time following a hip operation, but we wish him all the best with his recovery.”
Glasgow kicked off their league campaign with a sensational 41-5 win away to defending champions in Galway last weekend.
They host Leinster at Scotstoun on Saturday at 3pm in their first home game of the Pro12 season.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
