Worcester Warriors‘ promising centre Will Butler has been ruled out until December with a recurrence of an elbow injury sustained at the end of last season.
Butler suffered the original injury after scoring two tries in Worcester’s end-of-season defeat at Northampton Saints in May. He has now had a recurrence of the same injury while featuring for the Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Sevens in late July and will undergo surgery.
“If you remember Will went off in the Northampton game,” Solomons told Worcester News.
“That was treated conservatively.
“He got through the world championship but in the sevens at Northampton he injured it again.
“It was felt that it was prudent to have the operation so he will be out for a period of about three months and hopefully he will return to play in December.”
