Manu Tuilagi: Out for two months
England centre Manu Tuilagi will miss the autumn internationals because of injury.
Tuilagi suffered a chest muscle injury late in the 31-6 Aviva Premiership victory over Newcastle on Saturday.
Leicester coach Richard Cockerill said: "Manu has a suspected torn pectoral muscle in his chest.
"He's going for further investigation today and it is hard to tell how long he will be out, but it's going to be weeks leading to months potentially.
"These things happen. Hopefully, he will not be out for too long. Six to eight weeks at best but it may be longer depending how much damage there is."
Tuilagi missed the first two weeks of the season whilst he recovered from a shoulder injury suffered on the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia. Source : http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12504/8939297/manu-tuilagi-ruled-out-of-autumn-internationals-because-of-injury
