Ireland and Leinster captain Caelan Doris will be sidelined for up to six months following shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old sustained the injury in Leinster’s 37-34 Investec Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton on May 3.<\/p>\n

He was last week left out of the British and Irish Lions’ squad for this summer’s tour of Australia by head coach Andy Farrell.<\/p>\n

Back-rower Doris had previously been a frontrunner for the Lions captaincy, which was given to England and Saracens lock Maro Itoje.<\/p>\n

A short update from Leinster read: “Caelan Doris had a procedure on Friday last week for a shoulder injury which will keep him out of action for between four to six months.”<\/p>\n

In addition to the major disappointment of missing what would have been the first Lions tour of his career, Doris is now a doubt for his country’s autumn internationals.<\/p>\n

Ireland, who take on Georgia and Portugal in July, face New Zealand in Chicago on November 1 before hosting Japan, Australia and South Africa in Dublin on the following three weekends.<\/p>\n
