Louis Rees-Zammit is facing a race against time to be fit for Wales’ November Tests, which includes a clash with the Springboks in Cardiff.

The 23-year-old wing picked up a foot injury in Bristol’s Premiership defeat to Saracens last weekend.

Rees-Zammit has made a promising return to rugby following his NFL stint with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars, scoring two tries in four matches for Bristol.

“Louis Rees-Zammit sustained a contact-related foot injury when tackled late in the match,” Bristol said in a statement. “He is being monitored closely by the medical team and is expected to return in the coming weeks.”
