'Seeing a consultant this week after suffering a fracture in his skull last weekend against Northampton Saints.'Wray, who has been with Saracens since 2009 and stayed with the club during their short stint in the Championship has since posted a message to his followers on his condition.
'Thanks for all the messages guys,' he wrote on his Twitter account. 'Injuries are unfortunately part of the game we love. Look forward to being back on the field with the boys!'https://twitter.com/JacksonWray/status/1478716155816775683 Skull fractures are not entirely uncommon in sport. There was an infamous incident in 2008 when Wales centre Jamie Roberts, who was studying for his medical degree fractured his skull in a Test match against Australia and self-diagnosed before leaving the field of play. Wolves striker Raul Jimenez fractured his skull in a Premier League game against Arsenal, in November 2020, but was able to return to play, eight months later. The Mexican wears protective head-gear when playing for Wolves now. Elsewhere in the Saracens update, the club stated that Duncan Taylor has undergone shoulder surgery and is not expected back until March. That would rule him out of Scotland's upcoming Six Nations campaign. There was better news on Owen Farrell [ankle], who is expected back mid January.
