He suffered the injury in warm-ups for Ireland's win over Argentina and missed last weekend's 16-9 victory over the All Blacks.

Henshaw's injury further limits Leinster head coach Leo Cullen's options in the centre, with Joe Tomane ruled out last week for up to five months with a hamstring injury.
