Cormac Izuchukwu emerges as an injury doubt for Ireland's autumn Tests as Ulster confirm he will see a specialist about a foot injury.
Cormac Izuchukwu has emerged as an injury doubt for Ireland's autumn Tests after Ulster confirmed he will see a specialist about a foot injury.
The 25-year-old forward sustained the injury in Ulster's United Rugby Championship win over the Bulls last weekend and is unavailable for Saturday's fixture against the Sharks in Durban (15:00 BST).
Izuchukwu was expected to be named in Andy Farrell's Ireland squad on Wednesday after scoring tries against the Dragons and Bulls in an impressive start to the season.
The London-born player made his Ireland debut against Fiji last year and featured in the summer tour wins over Georgia and Portugal, but an ankle injury denied him a possible Six Nations debut earlier this year.
After opening their season with back-to-back wins, Ulster face the Sharks and Lions on their South African tour before the autumn break.
