Poor Luke Fitzgerald.
One of Ireland’s brightest rugby talents has once again been struck down with injury at a crucial time in the season.
The Leinster star has been ruled out of the upcoming Six Nations campaign with a knee injury suffered in training ahead of Sunday’s clash with Wales, but Fitzgerald, who has been through a litany of lay-offs in his career, has reacted with absolute class.
The back tweeted out his disappointment but insisted he still feels like ‘a lucky guy’ despite his misfortune, before looking ahead to helping Leinster finish off their Pro12 campaign in style.
Tough getting injured in training-feels like time robbed.In the grand scheme,still a lucky guy,despite appearances to the contrary.
