England Wing Jack Nowell Faces Two Months On Sidelines

London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Nov, 2018 ) :England wing Jack Nowell is expected to be sidelined for around eight weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, Premiership side Exeter announced on Wednesday.
Nowell, 25, started England's Tests against South Africa and Japan earlier this month and featured as a replacement in the one-point loss to world champions New Zealand.
But he was hurt during training before England's autumn finale against Australia.
And he now faces a lengthy absence that will see him miss a number of European Champions Cup and Premiership games for his club.
Nowell, who has won 29 caps for England, could be back in contention for the Six Nations, with England playing Ireland in Dublin on February 2, although he looks set for little, if any, game time ahead of the tournament.
"Jack's got a pretty significant hamstring tear," Exeter rugby director Rob Baxter told the club's official website.
"It's one of those injuries which is likely to be around the eight-week mark, give or take a week, depending on how his rehab goes.
"Ironically, he should be back in time to fight for a place in the Six Nations."
