Bath Rugby's latest injuries ahead of Northampton Saints

Bath Rugby have confirmed that full-back Tom de Glanville, who has been playing on the wing for the last couple of weeks, will miss Saturday's trip to face Northampton Saints with an Achilles issue, further straining the club's options out wide.

In a statement from Bath's head of medical Services, Rory Murray, it said de Glanville 'faces a short spell on the sidelines' with his injury.

The good news is Argentina star Santiago Carreras has returned to full training after missing the 40-34 win against Exeter Chiefs on Friday night as a precaution due to some lingering calf tightness following the opening-round win against Harlequins.

But Henry Arundell continues to be monitored on a week-to-week basis as he returns from a pre-season back issue, with the England international flyer not expected to be involved this weekend.

Bath also head to the home of the reigning Gallagher PREM champions with scrum-half Bernard van der Linde (cut), centre Cam Redpath (HIA) and wing Joe Cokanasiga [foot and knee] all suffering minor knocks in the win over Exeter. The statement from the club said 'all three are expected to resume training this week.'

Welsh international Louie Hennessey [foot injury], who can play in both the centres and on the wing, has resumed team training, while Will Muir [shoulder] and Thompson Cowan [ACL] are continuing their integration into team training but remain unavailable this weekend.

Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan confirmed that club captain and England international scrum-half Ben Spencer has returned to training, having had shoulder surgery over the summer, but has yet to be signed off for contact training.

Van Graan said: "It is very good to see Ben Spencer back in training. He is on a week-by-week basis. He has still got to get through his contract.

"Ben is a world-class player in our view, and we would like to get him back as quickly as we can, but it is such a long season. We will make the call over the next number of weeks when it is right to get him back on the pitch.

Sam Underhill will be sidelined until December, while Jamie Bhatti is expected to return in the New Year following biceps and forearm surgery, respectively.
