Wasps give an update on Dan Robson’s blood clotting issue

England and Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson faces three to four weeks of tests before they begin to solve his blood clotting issue.

“It is quite rare and is something that has to be respected and looked after and obviously that’s a process he is in at this moment in time. It’s a bit of a shock, he hadn’t been feeling ill or anything like that.

“I’ve spoken to him on the phone and he is about here today. He’s fairly limited about what he can do at this moment in time so he is just going to tick over.

“He’s in good spirits. Obviously he was disappointed. It was a bit of a shock, something like that, to come from nowhere really. These things happen, he’s confident, he’s in good hands. Over the next couple of weeks I am sure that he will get a path through it and he will be back sooner rather than later.”
