 Nieto hopes to be back in training by the end of August |
New Gloucester signing Carlos Nieto will miss the start of the season after undergoing a shoulder operation in London on Monday. "We needed to act quickly to avoid any further discomfort," head coach Dean Ryan told the club's website.
"Carlos should be back training towards the end of the month and we hope to see him in a Gloucester shirt soon."
The Italy prop joined Gloucester on a three-year contract from Italian club side Viadana earlier this summer.
