England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso could miss the rest of the Prem season after having surgery for a facial injury.
The 23-year-old was hurt in Exeter’s win at Leicester last week and he will miss his club side’s crucial final Prem game of the season against Saracens.
The operation could also make him a doubt for England’s summer matches against South Africa, Fiji and Argentina.
In a statement in their team news ahead of the Saracens game, Exeter said: “After extensive monitoring by the Chiefs medical team and investigative scans, a decision has been made in partnership with England Rugby for Feyi-Waboso to undergo surgery.”
Exeter boss Rob Baxter did not mention any possible surgery for the winger when conducting his pre-match media duties on Thursday morning.
It is the second major injury of the year for the winger, who missed the Six Nations after suffering a hamstring injury while training with England in early February.
He also missed the second half of last season because of a shoulder injury.
