Anthony Watson's Return Unknown

Anthony Watson's Return Unknown

Bath Director of Rugby Todd Blackadder has confirmed that the club has no clear time frame on when England outside back Anthony Watson will return from injury.

Watson suffered an initial Achilles injury playing for England against Ireland in the final game of the 2018 Six Nations Championship and has since re-torn his Achilles tendon.

Speaking to reporters Blackadder said: "The initial surgery did not quite take, and he has re-torn it.

"It is a start again injury, so we honestly don't know what the timeline is.

"It could come down to weeks or months, but it could be later in the season, we just don't know."


The prognosis from his first Achilles injury was a six-month absence, so the latest setback suggests that he could miss the rest of the year through injury.
