Italy delivered Louis Lynagh injury hammer blow ahead of Six Nations

Benetton have revealed that Italy winger Louis Lynagh has undergone surgery on a knee injury he suffered in his side’s recent victory over Zebre, which will likely rule him out of the Guinness Six Nations.

Despite completing the Italian derby as Benetton won 12-24 in Parma, the 24-year-old sustained a lateral collateral ligament injury, which has since been operated on.

A Benetton injury update shared on Wednesday reads (translated by Google): “The Benetton Rugby medical staff have released the following update on the physical condition of player Louis Lynagh, who was injured in the last match against Zebre Parma.

“The player Louis Lynagh suffered a sprain to his left knee during the match against Zebre. The instrumental tests revealed a lesion of the lateral collateral ligament, which required surgery, performed in London. The surgery was a complete success and the player will now begin his rehabilitation process.

“Benetton Rugby wishes Louis a speedy recovery and a quick return to the field.”

Though Benetton have not outlined how long the winger is expected to be sidelined for, it is not promising for Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada despite the operation being a success.

Lynagh made his try-scoring Italy debut in last year’s Six Nations in a victory over Scotland and went on to feature frequently in blue throughout 2024. His absence will therefore be felt by the Azzurri.

Benetton’s victory over Zebre has not proved particularly fruitful for either the club or Italy, with prop Mirco Spagnolo also picking up a five-week ban for his red card in the match.

Italy get their Six Nations campaign underway with a trip to Edinburgh to face a Scotland side that will be spoiling for revenge after their loss in Rome last year.

In a social media post following the operation, Lynagh has vowed to “be back better”.

What Newcastle 'can’t legislate for' as they face fellow basement dwellers

As a retired doc, I never thought I'd get scammed, especially not out of a whopping $98,000 in Bitcoin, thanks to a terrible forex deal. It was a crazy, hard-to-believe ordeal that left me financially drowned and lost. Realizing I'd seemingly lost all my savings was, to put it mildly, a lot to handle. But, amidst all this financial chaos, hope was restored when I found reviews about META TECH RECOVERY PRO. This sad ordeal started with what looked like a mouth-watering investment. Unfortunately, it was an existing organized fraud scheme, I only realized that after getting in touch with META TECH RECOVERY PRO. The truth hit me hard, and I was left dealing with the fallout, clueless about what to do. The digital world's complexity and the tricky process of getting back lost money made me feel helpless. Luckily, while looking for answers, I saw reviews raving about the skills of META TECH RECOVERY PRO's hackers. Out for a solution, I decided to contact them. The reviews talked about how they helped people like me recover lost Bitcoin investments. With a mix of doubt and hope, I figured I'd give it a try, thinking there might be a chance to get back what I'd lost. In no time, they showed off their digital skills by successfully getting back all my lost funds. I can't even begin to describe how grateful and relieved I felt. Having META TECH RECOVERY PRO on my side was amazing and super helpful. If you, like me, have been ripped off by fake forex brokers and scammers, it's good to know that META TECH RECOVERY PRO is there to help. Their expertise, reliability, and dedication to helping those who've been scammed online are truly impressive.
