Edinburgh Rugby wait for verdict on injury to 'freak' Scotland cap
Edinburgh coach Sean Everitt will be waiting on medical verdicts after Friday's defeat to Munster left two players sidelined and cast a shadow over the club's immediate plans. The concern centres on a 'freak' Scotland forward whose potential absence would be keenly felt in the squad.
With two injuries reported from the Munster game, the medical staff will conduct a thorough assessment to determine return-to-play timelines. A positive prognosis would help Edinburgh maintain momentum, while longer absence could force rotation and changes to the depth chart in upcoming fixtures.
Everitt emphasised that the forward's condition remains the main focus, with scans and evaluations expected to clarify how long he might be sidelined. The situation illustrates the fine margins teams face in a congested schedule where squad management is critical.
The club will continue to monitor the injuries and communicate with supporters as more information becomes available. In the meantime, Edinburgh must prepare for life without the injured players and adapt their strategy accordingly.
The verdict from medical staff will shape selection and planning in the weeks ahead as Edinburgh aims to press on in a demanding season.
