England flanker Sam Underhill will miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious toe injury, his club Bath said on Wednesday.
Underhill, who came on as a replacement in England’s 25-13 Six Nations loss to Scotland last month, ruptured a tendon during a training session with the national squad when a team mate trod on his foot.

“He’s essentially ruled out for the rest of the season,” Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder told BBC Radio.
The 21-year-old Underhill made his England debut against Argentina last year.
