Tom Curry to Miss Rest of Season Due to Hip Surgery

The England and Sale Sharks flanker's injury marks another setback in a career already marked by injuries.

England and Sale Sharks flanker Tom Curry will miss the rest of the season due to a hip injury that requires surgery.
Curry, who has 50 caps for England, has had a career marked by injuries, including a hamstring problem that sidelined him for this year's Six Nations and an ankle ligament injury before the World Cup.
The surgery, described as the least invasive of three possible procedures, involves a 'clear out' of Curry's hip and will take place in two weeks.
Sale's director of rugby, Alex Sanderson, said the surgery is the best option for Curry in the short term, despite it sounding long term.
Other flankers who represented England at the World Cup last month include Ben Earl, Jack Willis, Lewis Ludlam, Sam Underhill and Courtney Lawes, who retired from international rugby after the tournament.
