Bath centre Jonathan Joseph is expected to miss a significant amount of matches after being ruled out for the first part of the season, due to an injury picked up whilst playing for England during their embarrassing World Cup campaign.
Planet rugby have stated that the England international is expected to miss up to three months, which will rule him out of Bath’s start to the season as they look to build on last campaign where they finished as runners-up under Mike Ford.
Joseph, who has made 16 international appearances for England, including two in the World Cup against Austrailia and Uruguay, could also miss England’s Six Nations campaign which kicks off in February as he will most likely have insufficient time to get back to full match fitness.
Bath who will now be without Joseph until early 2016, face Wasps tomorrow in the second round of games in the 2015-2016 Aviva Premiership season after overcoming the Exeter Cheifs last time out by winning 19-17.
