England number eight Billy Vunipola revealed the gruesome aftermath of surgery after he broke an arm for the third time this year.
In his diary, posted by Channel 4 Sport, Vunipola reveals he went for an operation "in the same hospital as Sadio Mane had surgery actually - he was the day after me".
And after returning home on Wednesday morning the 25-year-old was initially "lying around, just kind of getting me head around the fact I'm injured again".
