Tuilagi out for season
Print Edition
ENGLAND center Manu Tuilagi will miss the Six Nations and the rest of the Premiership season after suffering a knee injury at the weekend, Leicester’s interim coach Aaron Mauger said yesterday. Tuilagi, who had just been recalled by England after persistent groin and hamstring injuries, went off after 10 minutes of the Tigers’ 12-16 home defeat by Saracens. “Unfortunately Manu sustained an ACL injury in the game on Sunday that’s going to put him out for the rest of the season,” Mauger told reporters. “It’s looking like a six-month recovery which is devastating for the bloke, he’s worked so hard to get back to where he is.” The 25-year-old Tuilagi, who has 26 caps but only one under head coach Eddie Jones, had been due to join the England squad for a training camp this week. Instead, the Samoa-born player faces another lengthy period on the sidelines and is likely also to miss the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand in June and July.
