Manu Tuilagi sidelined for two months

Leicester Tigers and England centre Manu Tuilagi has been ruled out for around two months with a torn pectoral muscle.

The 22-year-old is expected to miss the upcoming Autumn Internationals against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand.

Tuilagi suffered the injury during Leicester's 31-6 win over Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership on Saturday.

He could now require surgery to correct the problem, according to BBC Sport.

Tuilagi recently signed a new long-term contract with English champions Leicester.
