JEAN KLEYN IS set to miss the next two months, ruling him out of Munster’s Champions Cup quarter-final against Toulouse.
The South African lock, who has made 13 appearances this season, injured his neck in the win over the Newport Gwent Dragons.
Kleyn met with a specialist this week to assess the damage and is expected to miss “approximately eight to 10 weeks,” Munster said on Friday.
An eight-week recovery would see him return in time for the final three rounds of the Pro12 regular season, but anything longer would leave Kleyn with a race to be fit for the Champions Cup semis on the weekend of 22/23 April should Munster get there.

Fair play to Norwich, stuck by their manager when they were relegated and now look set for a quick return.
@Mark Sheehan: yup and kept their best players too. There was a lot of talk of Pukki and Cantwell jumping ship when they went down but keeping the squad together along with the management was a good piece of business by the owners
Quick and very confident on the ball, not tested defensively tonight. Looks like a great prospect!!
