Tim Swinson did damage just five minutes into Scotland’s drubbing of Argentina last weekend and has gone under the knife in his homeland.
Scotland and Glasgow Warriors lock Tim Swinson will be out for around six months after undergoing surgery on his leg.
Swinson lasted just five minutes into Scotland 44-15 thrashing of Argentina last weekend before suffering an injury blow.
The Warriors on Thursday revealed that the forward has gone under the knife and faces a long road to recovery.
“Tim Swinson has undergone surgery on a leg injury sustained in Scotland’s 44-15 win over Argentina in Resistencia on Saturday,” a short statement on the Pro14 club’s website said.
“The 31-year-old returned home to undergo the operation and is expected to be out of action for around six months.”
