Connacht have had a double injury setback today.

After their excellent start to the new season, head coach Pat Lam will now have to deal with an injury crisis in his pack ahead of this Friday's Guinness Pro12 derby against Leinster.

Hooker Sean Henry will miss up to six months after rupturing his ACL during last Friday's win over Edinburgh.

Openside Jack Heenan will be out for up to five months after suffering a recurrence of the dislocated shoulder injury that forced a premature end to his campaign last season.
