Ben Foden out "for a number of weeks"

Northampton Saints have confirmed that Ben Foden has suffered "significant damage to his ankle ligaments".

The England international suffered the injury during his side's 18-15 victory over Bath Rugby on Friday evening.

He will now visit a specialist tomorrow, where he will be told how long he will be out of action for.

Nevertheless, the Saints have revealed that they expect the 27-year-old "to be out of action for a number of weeks".

Foden joined the Saints from Sale Sharks in 2008.
