Saracens duo set for lengthy spells on the sidelines

Saracens duo Juan Figallo and Duncan Taylor are set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Prop Figallo, who recently played twice for Argentina in the Rugby Championship, injured his posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in Saracens’ win over Newcastle Falcons on Saturday and will be out of action for four months.

Scotland international Taylor suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the Premiership Rugby Shield. The 29-year-old is set to see a specialist to assess the full extent of the damage.
