York-born Rob Webber first signed for Wasps in the summer of 2005

Wasps will be without injured hooker Rob Webber until the New Year and also face the loss of centre Dom Waldouck for the next few weeks.

Both players missed Saturday's 33-25 home victory over London Irish after being injured in the previous weekend's 18-16 win against Bath.

Webber could be out for up to three months, and may undergo surgery after rupturing his biceps tendon.

Waldouck is in rehab after a bulging disc left him with an arm weakness.

Wasps, who climbed to sixth in the Premiership with Saturday's second straight league win, are already without five players.

John Hart is close to a return after eight weeks' rehab following shoulder surgery in August, as is Riki Flutey (calf).

Richard Birkett is recovering after elbow surgery two weeks ago, Mark Atkinson will be integrated into full training next week and Charlie Beech (ankle) is in the middle of an eight-week rehab programme.
