Ulster Rugby have confirmed that Michael Lowry has undergone surgery on a facial injury sustained in the province’s recent URC win over the Sharks in Belfast.
The 23-year-old full-back scored in the 24-21 victory on May 20 but required several minutes of medical treatment following a tackle on Sharks back Apehele Fassi.
As he was helped from the pitch TV footage showed blood streaming from Lowry's face and a heavy swelling developing around his cheek below the right eye socket.
