Scotland duo Gray & Hogg facing lengthy injury lay-offs
By Christopher Devine
Scotland internationals Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray are each facing four to six months out after undergoing surgery on respective shoulder and wrist injuries.
The duo's club, Glasgow Warriors, confirmed on Friday that both players had gone under the knife and are set to miss a considerable chunk of the 2017-18 season as a result.
Hogg - the player of the tournament in the 2017 Six Nations - had an underlying shoulder issue operated on after he was forced to return home early from the British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand due to a facial injury.
Lock Gray, meanwhile, was hurt on Scotland's summer tour.
It remains to be seen whether either man will recover in time to play a part in Scotland's November internationals.
Glasgow are also set to be without Ratu Tagive for six to nine months after the wing had surgery on a ruptured Achilles.

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
