England flanker Tom Curry will miss Sale's Champions Cup clash with Racing 92 on Friday for a stem-cell procedure on his chronic hip condition.
England flanker Tom Curry will miss Sale's Champions Cup clash with Racing 92 on Friday for a stem-cell procedure on his chronic hip condition.
"He's having a stem cell procedure, which isn't a cure, it's like a medicine really," Sanderson explained to BBC Sport."It's a week completely doing nothing while the bone grows, and then he is back to running."Sanderson expects Curry to be back available around Christmas, and says he sought input from England head coach Steve Borthwick when mapping out how to manage the player for the rest of the campaign.
An England player has a 30-game season limit, but given Curry's injury history and his robust style of play, Sanderson says he won't look to push him anyway near that maximum."And the rest internationals. So we have figured all that out so we don't push him to that 30-game max.
