The province confirmed today that he will miss “a minimum of four weeks,” BBC report, while centres Stuart Olding (groin) and Luke Marshall (head) are also ruled out of Saturday’s game against the Ospreys.
That recovery timeline would put McCloskey in line to return to action at the end of October, just a week before Ireland travel to Chicago to face New Zealand in the first of four November Tests.
The 24-year-old won his first senior international cap during the 2016 Six Nations.
