<\/p>\nBath Rugby have confirmed that star Argentina international full-back Santi Carreras will miss the remainder of the season, having ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in Friday night’s 23-5 derby defeat to Gloucester.<\/p>\n
Carreras, 28, was returning to his old stomping ground at Kingsholm for the second time in the Gallagher PREM since switching clubs, but the pantomime was cut short as he was replaced in the 12th minute after he went down away from contact as he looked to step off his right leg.<\/p>\n
He was supported off the field with his arms around the necks of two of Bath’s medical team, unable to put weight on his knee, and now the club\u2019s head of medical services, Rory Murray, has confirmed everyone’s worst fears about the seriousness of the injury.<\/p>\n
Bath have also announced that England flanker Guy Pepper will be unavailable for the Nations Championship following the ankle injury that forced his withdrawal during Friday night\u2019s fixture.<\/p>\n
He now joins Sam Underhill on the sidelines, who is recovering from surgery on his bicep and is expected to be out until early December.<\/p>\n
Springbok number eight Dan du Preez remains unavailable for selection, having pulled his hamstring in training, with the Blue, Black and White hosting Sale Sharks at the Recreation Ground on Saturday.<\/p>\n
But in better news, wingers Will Muir, Henry Arundell and full-back Tom de Glanville have all resumed team training.<\/p>\n
Flanker Thompson Cowan and tighthead prop Billy Sela will return in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Loosehead prop Jamie Bhatti continues to work towards a return in the New Year after suffering a fractured forearm in the pre-season game against Glasgow Warriors.<\/p>\n
