England and Bath flanker Sam Underhill will miss the autumn internationals after suffering a ruptured bicep that requires surgery.
The injury is expected to keep Underhill out of action for several months. His absence means England will be without the Bath forward for their autumn international fixtures.
Underhill, who plays at flanker for both club and country, now faces a period of rehabilitation following the operation. No further details about the injury, including when it occurred or the expected date of his return, have been provided.
His recovery timetable will determine when he is able to resume playing for Bath and return to contention for England.
