Bath Rugby faces a significant setback ahead of their Premiership play-off match against Exeter Chiefs, as star fly-half Finn Russell has been ruled out with a calf injury. The injury, sustained during recent training sessions, has forced the team to revise their game plan for the high-stakes encounter.
Adding to Bath’s woes, England flanker Guy Pepper remains unavailable due to an undisclosed injury. His absence further challenges Bath’s lineup as they prepare for the intense play-off atmosphere.
Coach Bruno Oliveira emphasized the importance of squad depth and adaptability, noting, “While Finn and Guy are sorely missed, our squad is ready to step up and deliver the performance needed to compete against Exeter.”
