The 24-year-old is set to undergo surgery in Dublin today. The recovery and rehabilitation process will rule Wall out of Ireland's pre-season and Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 campaign later this year.
Speaking on the injury, Wall said, "I'm devastated to be missing the next couple of months, but my main focus now is on my rehab programme and I'm looking forward to supporting the team in the Rugby World Cup".
