ENGLAND scrum-half Alex Mitchell could miss next year’s Six Nations after an operation to fix recurring hamstring issues.
The 29-year-old, who was Steve Borthwick’s first-choice nine last season, has suffered four hamstring injuries this year.
Mitchell travelled to Finland to be operated on by Lasse Lempainen, a specialist in elite sporting injuries.
Mitchell has an estimated four-month rehabilitation period which could put him in line to play in England’s final two matches, against Wales on March 6 and Scotland a week later.
Any setback however would leave him...
