Sale Sharks prop Nick Schonert will miss the end of the Premiership season after undergoing surgery.

The South African, 32, will be out until October following treatment on a bone spur in his foot that was affecting his Achilles.

Schonert, who joined the club from Worcester in 2021, signed a new contract until 2026 in February.

Sale, who are eighth in the Premiership and eight points outside the play-offs, face Exeter Chiefs on Sunday.
