Edmonds sidelined for the season

By
Tuesday 5 Apr 2016

Edmonds sustained the injury in the early stages of the Highlanders win against the Force last Friday.

 

Following further assessment and scans yesterday it was discovered the ruptured ligaments in his left knee will require reconstructive surgery. He will have the surgery sometime in the next two-three weeks. 

 

Highlanders head coach Jamie Joseph commented “this is really bad luck for Doogie [Edmonds]. He is such a great guy in the environment as well as being an outstanding prop. We hope he recovers from the surgery quickly and rehabs well."

 

No decision on a replacement has been made yet.
