"That is the view of Wasps head coach Lee Blackett, who said everything was being done to get his captain rehabilitated from his tibia stress fracture for the concluding rounds of the 2021 tournament. "

It was a fibula stress fracture when the news broke. Journalist error?

Don't rush it, whatever it is.  Better to have him back later  but completely fit - as I'm sure those in charge will be careful to do Take care, Joe.

Didn’t even realise they were trying to push him on for six nations contention. Make sure he’s properly fit and bone healed first.

Absolutely, in fact when news first broke it was continually reported as a fibia stress fracture which confused me as it's a bone I've never heard of.

When I heard the prognosis I realised it was fibula as I'm sure a tibia fracture would be far longer.
