BATH wing Regan Grace is likely to miss the start of the upcoming season after having had surgery on a hamstring injury.
He picked up the injury during his Wales debut last month.
The 27-year-old scored a try in Wales' win over Super Rugby Pacific side Queensland Reds during the final match of their Summer Tour to Australia.
Bath said he has had surgery and “begun a rehabilitation process”. His return to competition is under the guidance of Bath's medical team and would be confirmed in due course, a statement said.
Former St Helens and rugby league winger Grace joined Bath last February initially to train, as he recovered from a long-term ruptured Achilles.
He signed a deal until the end of the 2024-25 season in April but has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premiership club.
Scotland centre Cameron Redpath has also had surgery on a long-standing shoulder issue. “The club will be in a better position in mid-August to know for which game he will return,” Bath said.
