Leicester Tigers centre Manu Tuilagi is expected to return to the playing field in early December, according to head coach Matt O'Connor.
Tuilagi, 26, who hurt his knee in the opening game of the Premiership season against Bath, has been hampered by injuries in recent years.
But after making good progress in his recovery, O'Connor is confident the England international will be back in action before Christmas.
"He is in front of schedule and ticking along brilliantly," he told BBC Radio Leicester.
"We should see Manu in early December, hopefully."

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
