Wasps have been hit with a huge blow following the news Christian Wade is facing two to three months out with a foot injury.

The 24-year-old picked up the injury in their commanding win over Toulon and was substituted in the 67th minute of the match. Sailosi Tagicakibau replaced him and he starts against London Irish on Saturday at Twickenham.

Wade's injury could prove costly to his immediate England ambitions with Eddie Jones set to name his Elite Player in Squad in January. With England starting their Six Nations campaign against Scotland on February 6, Wade would face a race against time to force his way into the reckoning.
