Ulster's James Hume Ruled Out for Weeks With Hamstring Injury
The centre will miss Ulster's United Rugby Championship season opener against Edinburgh.
Ulster centre James Hume will be sidelined for a number of weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury, ruling him out of the team's United Rugby Championship season opener against Edinburgh.
Hume has been a regular fixture in Ulster's midfield in recent seasons and has also featured for Ireland at international level. His absence is a blow to Ulster's backline options as the province begins its URC campaign.
Ulster's coaching staff have not given a precise return date for Hume, describing his recovery timeline in terms of weeks rather than months, suggesting the injury is not considered among the most severe hamstring issues.
The province is expected to assess other centre options ahead of the Edinburgh fixture and subsequent matches while Hume completes his recovery and rehabilitation programme.
Further updates on his fitness are expected as Ulster's medical staff continue to monitor his progress through the coming weeks.
