Danny Cipriani is out of England's tour of New Zealand after Wasps confirmed he will miss six months with a fracture dislocation of his right ankle. The 20-year-old fly-half suffered the injury during Wasps' semi-final play-off victory over Bath on Sunday.
Cipriani was tackled by Olly Barkley and got trapped at the bottom of a ruck in the 49th minute at Adams Park.
He was given oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery on his ankle.
Wasps also saw winger Tom Voyce taken to hospital after he suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Cipriani will remain under observation in London's Lister Hospital for at least two days while Voyce is expected to be discharged later on Monday.
Director of rugby at Wasps Ian McGeechan said after Wasps' 21-10 victory.
"It would have been great to see him playing in a final but from our point of view he will have the summer to recover and we have to make sure we do everything to get him right for next season."
"When you watch two players being led into an ambulance it certainly takes the edge off a win,"
While Cipriani will now definitely miss England's summer tour to New Zealand, he is also a major doubt for the home autumn internationals against Australia, world champions South Africa and the All Blacks - which begin with a clash against the Wallabies at Twickenham on 15 November.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
