Gloucester Rugby has been hit with a major blow as three of their players have been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injuries. The club confirmed that Albert Tuisue, Val Rapava-Ruskin, and Giorgi Kveseladze have all suffered season-ending injuries.

Tuisue, who sustained a significant hamstring injury during the game against Leicester Tigers on March 12, is set to undergo rehabilitation and will miss the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, Kveseladze suffered a similar injury while playing for Georgia on international duty.

Rapava-Ruskin, who has been in impressive form for the Cherry & Whites, will undergo surgery for a knee injury, which will also end his season. The 28-year-old prop has been one of Gloucester’s key players this season and his absence will be a major loss for the team.

“We’ve been hugely unfortunate this season with the injuries we’ve sustained and losing three more players in such a short space of time is another significant blow to the squad,” said Chief Operating Officer, Alex Brown.

“Albert, Val and Giorgi have all played key parts in our season and they’re equally disappointed to be ruled out for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign.

“They’ve all already started their respective returns with our on-site medical team, and we’re wishing them all a speedy recovery.”

Gloucester will now have to rely on their other players to step up and fill the void left by the injured trio as they aim to finish the season on a high note.
