Max Sorensen has been ruled out of the Leinster Lightning squad which will face NW Warriors at The Hills on Monday.

The 31-year old Irish international suffered a shoulder injury while playing for The Hills at North County.

Sorensen has withdrawn from the Lightning squad and will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

It's a blow for both his club and province as he looks to force his way back into the Irish set-up having fallen out of favour with the selectors.

Lightning coach Albert van der Merwe hasn't drafted in anyone to replace Sorensen as there were 13 names in the original squad for the season opener.

Action at Milverton gets under way at 10:45 and entry is free for all.
