England flyhalf Owen Farrell will undergo tests after hobbling off with a knee injury during Saracens’ 6 / 18 European Champions Cup defeat at Clermont on Sunday.

Farrell was forced off in the 19th minute, after twisting his left knee in a collision with Clermont flank Julien Bardy.

Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall said the 23-year-old would now undergo further tests to see if he can compete in the Six Nations which gets underway on 6 February.

“We can’t yet evaluate the seriousness of the injury, we have to wait for the results of additional tests,” McCall said after the 18 / 6 defeat.

Despite the loss Saracens qualify behind Clermont in Pool 1 and travel to French club Racing-Metro in the last 8.

England open their Six Nations campaign against Wales.
