Worcester Warriors prop Darren Morris could miss the start of next season after having a shoulder operation.

The 33-year-old has had his bicep and pectoral muscles re-attached after he was injured in the win over Gloucester on 26 April.

Morris recently signed a new two year contract to stay at Worcester.

Warriors' director of rugby Mike Ruddock said: "We hope he will be ready for next season, but it could be five months before he's fit."

Meanwhile, Ruddock said he will be able to pick close to a first choice team to face Bath at Sixways on Saturday.

Pat Sanderson, Greg Rawlinson and Sam Tuitopou are set to return after missing Saturday's defeat at London Wasps.

Centre Dale Rasmussen is a doubt and will face a late fitness test.
