Knee inury set to keep Ulster's Paddy McAllister out of action for most of the new season

Ulster prop Paddy McAllister is set to be out of action for the most of the coming season after picking up a significant knee injury in training last week. 

The 23 year-old has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament, which will require surgery and thus rule keep him on the sidelines. 

He will be assessed by a knee specialist which will give a better prognosis for a return to action.
