Garry Ringrose has been ruled out of the rest of the autumn international schedule.
The IRFU confirmed this morning that the centre will miss Ireland's Nations Cup games against Wales, England and Georgia next month as well as their final Six Nations game against France at the weekend.
The 25-year-old suffered a broken jaw on Saturday against Italy while trying to block a kick in the 27th minute and was removed for a head injury assessment.
Wishing @Ringrose_G a speedy recovery after it was confirmed the Ireland centre will miss the remainder of the Autumn international schedule with a facial injury.
We hope to see you back out in green soon, Garry! 👊 💚#ShoulderToShoulder #GuinnessSixNations pic.twitter.com/Zc3SremaWj

Elsewhere, Jamison Gibson Park presented with some hamstring tightness post-game so John Cooney has joined the squad to provide additional cover.
Keith Earls is finishing his rehabilitation programme for his back injury and a decision on his availability will be made over the coming days.
The squad returned to Carton House on Sunday to begin preparations for the France game in Paris on Saturday where a bonus-point win would see Andy Farrell's side regain the title.
