O'Driscoll may miss autumn Tests

Brian O'Driscoll injured his knee in Leinster's victory over Wasps

Brian O'Driscoll is in danger of missing Ireland's autumn Tests with a knee problem picked up in Leinster's blistering win over Wasps on Saturday.

O'Driscoll, who is expected to continue in his role as Ireland captain, will undergo a scan on Monday to ascertain the extent of the knee ligament injury.

The 28-year-old former Lions skipper was injured in the first half and failed to reappear on the restart.

Ireland centre Gordon D'Arcy is to have another operation on his broken arm.

O'Driscoll's former midfield partner was injured during last season's Six Nations game against Italy in February but is now expected to be out well into the new year.

D'Arcy had a plate inserted during the first operation to repair the damage and a subsequent bone graft also failed to knit properly.

Meanwhile, Ireland coach Declan Kidney is set to name his squad for the November Tests on Wednesday.
