England endured a difficult tournament this year but Curry played a huge role in their revitalisation on their way to the Rugby World Cup semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Sale confirmed in a statement that Curry will miss not only the 2024 Six Nations and summer tour of New Zealand with England, but also their entire Premiership and Champions Cup campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The flanker earned his 50th international cap in England&#8217;s bronze match victory over Argentina in Paris, but has not played since that game as Sale director of rugby Alex Sanderson revealed the deflating news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTom needs a clear out of his hip that will put him out for the rest of this season,\u201d Sanderson said before his side&#8217;s Premiership clash with Bath on Tuesday. \u201cHe has been back down to London to have further extensive X-rays under movement with a different consultant and this is the best thing for him in the short term.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> MUST READ <\/strong> <strong>Rugby WC final result plunged into controversy as decision &#8216;outside rules'[REACTION] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/England-Rugby-Six-Nations-Curry-5078256.jpg?r=1700595881283\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know it sounds long-term, the season, but it\u2019s not. He is still a young lad and it\u2019s the best thing for him in the short-term to ensure he is able to be more robust moving forward to train and progress his game the way he wants to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has just got some wear and tear issues around his socket and a little bone that needs shaving off, cleaning up. My understanding is there is three procedures you can have on your hip of this nature: one is this, which is the least invasive. Then you can have a resurfacing, have a metal resurfacing, and then you can have a hip replacement, so this is the better of lesser evils I guess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>South African Rugby World Cup winner Kolbe shows class with heartwarming gesture[SPOTTED] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Eddie Jones confirms thoughts on England rugby return after quitting Australia[INTERVIEW] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>England star Owen Farrell labelled &#8216;underappreciated&#8217; after World Cup heroics[REACTION] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/England-Tom-Curry-injury-news-5078273.jpg?r=1700595881336\"><\/p>\n<p>Curry was sent off in the opening moments of England&#8217;s campaign in France, but returned to a starring role before finding himself in the centre of a racism storm involving South Africa&#8217;s Bongi Mbonambi before World Rugby dismissed the allegation.<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson provided an update on how Curry reacted to the news, insisting that he is in the best frame of mind possible. \u201cI was more upset than he was,\u201d Sanderson added. \u201cHe had reframed himself, was like, \u2018Okay, this is fine\u2019\u2026 I literally see it as a bump in the road for him.
