GLASGOW stand-off Ross Thompson will be out of action until some time in the New Year after needing surgery on the ankle he injured against Leinster last month. It had initially been hoped that Thompson would be able to recuperate without an operation.
“Ross Thompson has undergone successful surgery at Ross Hall Hospital on an ankle injury sustained against Leinster a fortnight ago, with the operation conducted by Mr Bob Carter, Consultant Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Surgeon,” a statement on the Warriors website said.
“Thompson will now begin his rehabilitation under the supervision of the club’s medical and strength and conditioning team with a view of returning to action in the New Year.”
