This is Leicestershire -- Leicester Tigers have lost two more key players to the long-term injury list. Wingers Niall Morris and Miles Benjamin have both had surgery and are set to miss a large chunk of the rest of the season. Morris has had to have pins inserted in a hand injury which saw him repeatedly dislocate his thumb in the home defeat by Ulster. Benjamin has had a clear-out operation on a knee injury he picked up in the Heineken Cup victory at Treviso. Morris could be out for as long as three months, while Benjamin is expected to be sidelined for between four and six weeks. The news is the latest blow in a season that has seen Richard Cockerill's squad decimated by injuries. Tigers host Bath in the LV= Cup on Friday night.
