Anthony Watson required a second operation on his Achilles tendon after re-tearing it during a commercial photo shoot, revealed the BBC’s, Sonja McLaughlan.
It has emerged the utility back’s Achilles ruptured a second time during a photo shoot with NFL players six weeks ago.
BBC Sport has reported on Wednesday evening that the player took a couple of steps to catch a ball, causing his Achilles to tear again.
Bath say his injury was re-assessed and it showed the rupture had failed to knit after the initial surgery and the player was therefore “unlucky” to suffer further damage.
The club are confident the Achilles has now has been repaired and Watson’s agent says the player is on course to return at the end of the year or early January.
