Ireland rugby captain Caelan Doris is expected to miss the start of his club’s season after a slower-than-expected recovery from a knee injury. The injury has forced him to take a break from training, raising concerns about his readiness for the Nations Championship matches in November. Doris, who leads the Irish team, is now in a race to regain full fitness ahead of the crucial final games. His absence could impact the team’s strategy and performance in the tournament. The club has not yet confirmed a return date for Doris, but medical assessments are ongoing. The situation highlights the challenges of maintaining peak form for international players amid club commitments.
