Wasps confirm that Kyle Eastmond will miss the rest of the season

Wasps have today confirmed that Kyle Eastmond will miss the rest of the season after tearing his Achilles tendon during last Sunday’s game.

“It’s obviously really disappointing for Kyle that he will miss the rest of the season and I really feel for him, because it came at a time when he was really starting to find his feet in this side and get a good run of games under his belt," Director of Rugby Dai Young said.

“The good news is that the operation was as straightforward as it can be with this type of injury and that he is expected to make a full recovery, hopefully being back ahead of the new season."

Eastmond is expected to be sidelined for six months, which will rule him out of the remainder of Wasps’ 2016/17 campaign.
