Gone again.

News broke this morning that Manu Tuilagi will once again be forced to spend an extended period on the sidelines after damaging his knee in Leicester’s opening round defeat to Bath this past weekend.

Tuilagi is expected to be out for around 12 weeks, but has not injured the same knee that recently kept him out of action for over six months.

In light of the news, Sky Sports have released a graphic detailing all of the injuries he has suffered over the years, and you have to feel for him. There’s absolutely no doubt he has the ability to be one of the best in the world, but if can’t stay fit we may never see him fulfil that endless potential.
