It appears that our friend Tom Curry will be out of commission for a while. He’s scheduled to have hip surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Tough break, right? But the good news is, he should be back next autumn. How do we know all this? Well, he saw some specialists at Harley Street and they’ve recommended this operation to fix up his hip socket. Apparently, they need to repair some wear and tear and shave off a bit of bone. Ouch! But hey, it’s the best thing for him right now. Our man is still young and this surgery will make sure he’s more robust and ready to get back on the field.
Tom Curry’s all-action style is what makes him so valuable to both his club and country. But poor guy has been dealing with one injury after another. First, it was his hamstring, then his ankle, and to top it all off, he got sent off just three minutes into a big game. Talk about a rough time!
And it’s not just Tom who’s got the injury bug. Val Rapava-Ruskin from Gloucester is also going to be out for a while because of knee surgery. It’s tough out there on the field, isn’t it?
But hey, it’s not all bad news. Our guy Ben Earl, who really shone at the World Cup, is on the road to recovery. He had a knee operation but he’s expected to be back in action in just six to eight weeks. Looks like we’ll be seeing him in the upcoming Six Nations championship after all. His coach Mark McCall is pretty confident about it, and that’s good enough for us.
As for Saracens, they’ve had their fair share of ups and downs. Alex Lozowski and Callum Hunter-Hill will be on the sidelines for a while, but Elliot Daly got the all-clear to get back on the field after a little hamstring trouble. It’s a rollercoaster out there in the rugby world, but one thing’s for sure – these guys are tough as nails.
