Bath flanker Ted Hill went off with the injury during the win against Newcastle
Bath flanker Ted Hill is set to miss "a number of months" because of an upper leg injury.
The 24-year-old went off with the injury at the end of Bath's 34-26 win against Newcastle in their opening Premiership game last weekend.
Hill started 13 of 15 games for the club last season after joining following the collapse of Worcester.
A statement from the club confirmed Hill would be "sidelined for a number of months".
Director of rugby Johann van Grann confirmed in an interview with BBC Radio Bristol on Tuesday that Hill had gone to see another specialist for a second opinion on the injury.
Miles Reid has come into the starting XV in his place for the trip away to Saracens on Saturday, while Scotland fly-half Finn Russell will make his first start for Bath after coming on as a replacement against the Falcons.
