Highlanders lose Liam Squire to injury

Highlanders loose forward Liam Squire has been forced out of Super Rugby Aotearoa 2021 due to a recurrent knee injury.

Squire, who has made two appearances off the replacements bench this season, has been hampered by a right knee problem and will now take time to rehabilitate his knee.

Highlanders head coach Tony Brown is feeling for his player after this setback.

Worked hard to get back in shape

“It’s tough for Liam, he has worked hard to get back in shape to have a big season but his knee has flared up again which means we have to give him time now to rest it and try and get it right,” he said.

No replacement has been named yet to cover for Squire’s absence.
