London Irish and England winger Marland Yarde is a doubt for the Six Nations.
The Exiles have confirmed Yarde will be out of action for 12 to 14 weeks with a ruptured tendon in his hip.
England's Six Nations campaign
- 1 Feb: France v England
- 8 Feb: Scotland v England
- 22 Feb: England v Ireland
- 9 March: England v Wales
- 15 March: Italy v England
The 21-year-old suffered the injury in
the Premiership match against Leicester
last weekend, and will now undergo surgery.
Yarde started England's autumn international against Australia but missed the matches with Argentina and New Zealand, also with a hip problem.
He has two caps for his country having made his debut against Argentina during the summer tour.
England already have doubts over Leicester duo Geoff Parling and Manu Tuilagi going into next year's Six Nations.
England play France at the Stade de France on the opening weekend of the tournament, which begins on 1 February, before facing Scotland a week later.
