Achilles surgery rules John Barclay out of Pro 14 final against Leinster

Scarlets will miss the services of Scotland international John Barclay for the upcoming Pro 14 final clash against Leinster at Lansdowne Road on Saturday due to injury.

The 31-year-old sustained the blow in the 10th minute of the semi-final game against Glasgow Warriors and has now undergone a surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.

This also means Barclay has played his last game for Scarlets as he heads to Edinburgh next season after signing two-year deal with the Scottish regional club.

"We have made arrangements for John to begin his recovery and rehabilitation in Edinburgh," read a statement from Scarlets.

Barclay was already rested by Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend for the summer tour games against Canada, USA and Argentina.
