Leicester Tigers trio Sione Kalamafoni, Jonny May and Johnny McPhillips are set for extended periods on the sideline through injury.

Kalamafoni, on the advice of a neurologist, has been stood down for three months after reporting with concussion symptoms following the away defeat at Saracens.

Scans have revealed that May, who was replaced in England’s Six Nations victory over Wales at Twickenham in around 4 of the 2020 Championship, suffered a fractured cheekbone.

The Tigers back has had surgery and is expected to be side-lined for an extended period.
