Sale blast England medics after Sheridan shock

SALE SHARKS have slammed England’s medical staff after their Lions prop Andrew Sheridan was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc in his neck.

Sheridan is battling to play again this season and could face surgery, potentially missing out on Sharks’ push for Guinness Premiership title honours, the remainder of the Heineken Cup, plus an England summer tour of Australia.

The injury happened during England training before their RBS 6 Nations Championship finale against Ireland a fortnight ago, a game that Sheridan started before he was replaced by Perry Freshwater 11 minutes from time.
