Tommy Wyatt has scored five tries in 17 appearances in all competitions for Exeter this season

Exeter back Tommy Wyatt and prop Nika Abuladze are out for the rest of the season after suffering injuries in their Champions Cup win over Glasgow.

Wyatt, 24, has impressed at full-back and wing this season but has torn his anterior cruciate knee ligament.

Georgia's Abuladze, who has played 11 times for Exeter this season, needs surgery on an Achilles tendon injury.

"The win came at a price for us," said Baxter. "It's frustrating as both of those guys were going very well."

"It's tough on those lads because they're having a good season, they've been key parts of good things we've achieved this season and no doubt they'd have been very important parts of any run-in we could have.

"I feel for them a bit, but the good thing is they're both young enough to get this done.

"They should be able to start next season flying and we've got to move that way with them, and look forward to next season and having them back."
