Sarries' Goode out until new year with quad injury
Saracens full-back Alex Goode will have surgery this week on a quad injury keeping him out for up to three months.
The 36-year-old picked up the injury during the warm-up before their narrow defeat by Leicester on 26 October.
The club said Goode, who has played in five of their Premiership matches so far this season, is expected to be out for 10 to 12 weeks.
Saracens face London rivals Harlequins on Saturday in the Premiership Rugby Cup. The league returns on 29 November with a trip away to Newcastle before they begin their Champions Cup campaign next month with two group games.
