WASPS star Tom Rees will miss the rest of the Six Nations after picking up a knee injury during England's defeat to Wales last weekend.
Rees suffered a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Wasps director of rugby Ian McGeechan said: "This is very disappointing news, particularly bearing in mind way Tom was playing in Saturday's game and I think his departure had a significant impact on England's performance in the remainder of the game.
"Our medical and rehab team will working very hard in the coming weeks to get Tom back to full fitness as soon as possible."
