Bath Wing Will Muir Ruled Out for Season with Shoulder Injury
Bath Rugby wing Will Muir has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury sustained during the Champions Cup semi-final defeat against Bordeaux. The incident occurred in the 66th minute of the match in France earlier this month, where Muir had scored two tries before leaving the field. Head of Rugby Johann van Graan confirmed that Muir will undergo surgery later this week, marking a significant setback for the player who had recently returned from a four-month absence caused by an ankle injury. This new injury also excludes Muir from potential England national team selection for the upcoming summer internationals. Van Graan expressed disappointment but emphasized the club's support for Muir's recovery. In related team news, centre Louis Hennessey is expected to return to training soon after a minor injury, while prop Archie Griffin will remain available for Bath despite undergoing foot surgery that rules him out of Wales' summer programme. Bath aims to recover from recent defeats in their next match against Newcastle.
