Jack Willis sends social media message after another season-ending injury

Wasps have been dealt a triple injury blow recently, as scrum-half Dan Robson, and loose forwards Thomas Young and Jack Willis will miss the rest of the season.

The England half-back has deep vein thrombosis, while Wales international Young has an ankle injury. Although both are expected to make a recovery before the World Cup, they may face a struggle for match fitness and a chance to impress their respective head coaches Eddie Jones and Warren Gatland.

While the World Cup was perhaps not a possibility for the 22-year-old Willis, he has still been bitterly unlucky after only making his return to rugby a few weeks ago.

It was almost this time last year that Willis suffered a multi-ligament knee injury playing for Wasps days after being selected by Jones for England’s tour of South Africa. He is set to have surgery on a stress fracture to his ankle, and will be fit for next season.

The loose forward posted this message to his followers on Instagram:
