Dan Tuohy out with calf injury

Irish outfit Ulster will be without Dan Tuohy until the New Year after the lock injured his calf in the defeat to Northampton Saints at the weekend.

The 27-year-old has been a key member of the Ulster side that are on the brink of securing qualification for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

However, the damage to his calf is expected to rule him out of action for at least a month, according to Sky Sports News.

Tuohy has five international caps for Ireland.
