WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Robbie Fruean's hopes of reviving his career back at the Canterbury Crusaders this season have been left in tatters after he was sidelined for up to five months with a broken arm.

The hulking winger's career has been blighted by heart problems and he was released by the Waikato Chiefs at the end of 2014 after just one season and four Super Rugby appearances for the Hamilton-based outfit.
