Bath provide update on injuries to Joe Cokanasiga and Ben Spencer

Bath Rugby have confirmed that Joe Cokanasiga and Ben Spencer have been sidelined with injuries.

Cokanasiga sustained a knee injury during the friendly game against Cardiff while Spencer suffered a hamstring injury during the Premiership opener against Sale Sharks.

The club in a statement has confirmed that both the players do not require surgery.

“Our main priority is to give both players our full care and support,” said Bath director of rugby Stuart Hooper.

“We are bitterly disappointed for Joe after his recent history with injuries. He showcased exactly what he was about in the summer with England and we are confident our Performance Department will help him reach the highest level once again.

“Ben has been a key part of our side since his arrival at the club and he will give everything to his rehabilitation just as he does with his training.”

Bath will be locking horns with Newcastle Falcons in the second round of the Gallagher Premiership to be played on 25th September at Recreation Ground.
