Saracens strongman out for season
Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:07
Saracens have been dealt an injury blow with the news that tight-head prop Tom Mercey has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
The England Saxons prop suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the LV=Cup semi final against Northampton Saints and subsequent scans revealed the injury.
However, there is better news regarding Chris Wyles. The wing went over heavily on his ankle and had to be helped from the field, but scans showed he has suffered just a sprain and he could even return for club's Guinness Premiership clash against Newcastle Falcons at Vicarage Road on Sunday 28th March.
Schalk Brits and Kas Lealamanua also picked up knocks in the Saints game but should return to full training next week, however, Kameli Ratuvou has been ruled out for the next few weeks after breaking a bone in his hand - an injury he picked up just five minutes into the Northampton match. Michael Tagicakibau also missed the Saints match with a hamstring
problem but he is expected to be back in action next week.
But there is good news regarding Hugh Vyvyan. His knee ligament injury was due to keep him out for at least another 3-4 weeks but the second row has worked hard on his recovery and hopes to be back in action against his former club Newcastle.
