Healey will miss start of the season
13 April 2012
Leicester Austin Healey will miss the start of rugby union's Zurich Premiership season because of a back problem.
The winger and scrum half also has a disciplinary hearing set for September 6 relating to comments made in a newspaper column during the Lions tour to Australia earlier this summer. Healey is receiving treatment on his back and does not expect to turn out for the Tigers until the end of September.
He said: 'My back is still a problem and I have got a slight dead leg. But apart from that, I am not too bad. I am just having physio and doing some easy training.'
