Ospreys ban Henson for two games
By Gareth Roberts
BBC Sport Wales online
The Ospreys have banned Gavin Henson from their two opening Heineken Cup games for disciplinary reasons.
The Wales star will miss Sunday's trip to twice-winners Leicester and the home clash against Perpignan that follows.
The region did not reveal the nature of Henson's transgression when they announced their team on Friday.
An Ospreys statement read: "Gavin is excluded from the next two Ospreys fixtures following a rugby-related internal disciplinary decision."
Henson's ban is the latest controversy to affect a career that has often been dogged by off-field events.
His absence is a further blow to the Ospreys midfield as long-term partner Sonny Parker is also absent from the clash with the Tigers due to a chest muscle injury.
It is not known if the ban could affect Henson's chances of playing for Wales during the autumn Tests against South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
But he has a lack of match practice having started only one game this season, the Ospreys' 18-17 EDF Energy Cup win over Harlequins on Sunday at Liberty Stadium.
Henson's first appearance following an ankle injury came against Ulster in the Magners League when he came off the bench after 63 minutes in a 43-0 win, also at Liberty Stadium.
