Injury update

Andrew Henderson is sidelined for two months with a fractured thumb
Glasgow Warriors back-row James Eddie and centre Andrew Henderson will be sidelined for substantial periods.

James, who suffered significant knee ligament damage, will be out for around three months whilst Andy is ruled out for around two months with a fractured thumb.

Warriors head coach Sean Lineen told glasgowwarriors.org: “It’s really disappointing to lose both players. We’re in a very difficult time of the season in terms of squad depth so we just need to a little bit smarter than other clubs who maybe have larger squads.

“It’s a challenging time but there’s a bounce in the step after the weekend’s result and we’ll just enjoy the moment as we build towards the visit of The Dragons on Sunday afternoon.”

James and Andy join Tim Barker (knee) and Lome Fa'atau (shin) in the treatment room, both of whom continue to make good progress under the care of the Glasgow medical staff.

The good news for Warriors fans is that scrum-half Mark McMillan has returned to full training and Sam Pinder is now back to full fitness – both having recovered from knee trouble.

Stand-off Ruaridh Jackson has also resumed full training having rested a calf injury over the weekend.

Bad news for James Eddie.
He's been in great form since coming back into the team.
Hopefully when he's fit again he can continue where he left off.

I am gutted for James Eddie as he has performed brilliantly since his recent return from injury.I have no doubt he would have been involved in the six nations had he remained fit.
As for Andy Henderson he was on the pitch a matter of a few minutes, was yellow carded and broke his thumb and I am so disappointed for him.Best wishes to both of them for a speedy recovery.

That is ashame for both players. Particulalry Eddie who had come on to some fantastic form since returning from injury adding a fair bit of grit to the team. It did look like a nast bend at the knee but hope that him and Andy Henderson come back as strong.

Real shame for both players and, like other posters have already said, Big Jim in particular. He'd been in such a rich seam of form since coming back into the team. Best wishes to both players, hope to see them back in the team soon.
