Season over for Marland Yarde

Editor

Sale Sharks have suffered a setback after wing Marland Yarde was ruled out for the rest of the Premiership season after dislocating his knee.

The 26-year-old, who has won 13 caps for England, suffered the dislocation as well as ruptured ligaments against Newcastle on Saturday.

It’s a big blow to the Sharks with the injury also set to end Yarde’s hopes of making England’s squad for next year’s Rugby World Cup.

Sale are currently 11th in the Premiership standings after a disappointing start to the campaign, which has seen them win just two games.
