Cipriai sidelined for six monthes
19 May 2008, 1:08 pm
Danny Cipriani could miss the start of the European season after Wasps confirmed he will miss six months with a fracture dislocation of his right ankle.
The 20-year-old fly-half suffered the injury during Wasps' semi-final play-off victory over Bath on Sunday.

Cipriani was tackled by Olly Barkley and got trapped at the bottom of a ruck in the 49th minute at Adams Park.

He needed oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery on his ankle.

The Londoners also saw winger Tom Voyce taken to hospital after he suffered a dislocated shoulder, which medical staff were unable to put back in.

Cipriani will remain under observation in London's Lister Hospital for the next couple of days while Voyce is expected to be discharged later on Monday.

"When you watch two players being led into an ambulance it certainly takes the edge off a win," director of rugby Ian McGeechan told BBC Radio 5 Live after Wasps' 21-10 victory.

"It would have been great to see him playing in a final but from our point of view he will have the summer to recover and we have to make sure we do everything to get him right for next season."

Round on of the 2008/9 Heineken Cup takes place on the weekend of 11/12 October, with the final confirmed at Murrayfield Stadium in May of 2009.
