- Tom Curry needs hip surgery.
- Ben Earl’s optimistic recovery.
- Injuries impact England’s rugby.
England’s medium-term objectives have been significantly disrupted by the development that Tom Curry will require hip surgery and miss the remainder of the season. The key Sale flanker will need a lengthy rehabilitation time and will miss national team and club games till autumn.
The 25-year-old, who earned his 50th cap for England in the bronze final victory over Argentina at the World Cup, has been advised by Harley Street specialists to undergo a clearout operation. The procedure will entail shaving a small portion of bone and repairing some wear and tear around his hip socket. “This is the only option,” stated Alex Sanderson, the director of rugby for the Sharks. “Since he is still a young lad, it is in his short-term best interest to ensure he can develop more robustness and to train and advance his game in the manner he desires.”
Injury Woes for Influential Flanker
Although Curry’s all-action style is a major reason why both England and the Sharks hold him in such high regard, his recent string of injuries has been a morale-depressing setback. He was unable to participate in this year’s Six Nations due to a hamstring injury. Additionally, he suffered an ankle injury prior to the World Cup and was substituted three minutes into the opening pool match against the Pumas.
The Gloucester prop Val Rapava-Ruskin was informed that he requires knee surgery and will be sidelined for several months on a day when the physical demands of professional rugby union were further emphasised. Saracens have a more bullish outlook on Ben Earl, England’s World Cup star.

Optimism and Setbacks: Rugby Updates
Ahead of the commencement of the Six Nations championship, the back-rower is anticipated to be fully recovered from knee surgery. Earl had a minor medial meniscus repair today, but he won’t play for six to eight weeks. It had been speculated that he might miss the first two rounds of the Six Nations. But Mark McCall, his coach for the Saracens, is now certain he will return in the near future.
McCall expressed his belief that he will be participating in the month of January. “January features three to four games, giving Ben more than sufficient time to make the roster.” He was busy with minutes in August, September, and October, so a six-week break from rugby may benefit him. “Everyone is relieved that it has not developed into a severe, long-lasting injury.”
Alex Lozowski, another England international, appeared in last weekend’s victory over Harlequins but tore his anterior cruciate ligament. As a result, Saracens will presumably be without Lozowski until next summer. Additionally, Callum Hunter-Hill, a forward for the Sarries, will be sidelined for the next four months. However, Elliot Daly, who was substituted from the Quins game prior to kickoff due to a hamstring twinge, has been cleared to return to action promptly following a scan.
