GEORGE NORTH is out of Wales’ autumn series as he faces up to two months out with knee ligament damage.
The injury-prone 25-year-old, who has 69 Dragons caps, has just returned from a hamstring tear and a spate of concussions.
The giant winger has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks – meaning he misses clashes against Australia, Georgia, New Zealand and South Africa at the Principality Stadium.
Northampton Saints said: “George North suffered a sprain to his posterior cruciate ligament against Saracens which will require 6-8 weeks rehabilitation.”
It is also a major blow for Saints’ European ambitions after being hammered by Saracens on Sunday night.
Wales boss Warren Gatland will be hoping that North is finally back up and running and ready to rip into the Six Nations in February.
