Flood Aims for November Return!!

The Leicester and England fly-half Toby Flood hopes to return to action in November after surgery on his ruptured left Achilles.

Flood suffered the lower leg injury in the Heineken Cup semi-final win over Cardiff Blues in early May.

The 24-year-old told BBC Radio Leicester: "The timescale is about six months and I'm inside that bracket and so we're working towards that.

"The rehab's gone well, but the guys are in pre-season now and to watch that from the sidelines is difficult."
