Scotland international Simon Taylor is set to be sidelined for two months after undergoing surgery on a torn bicep.

The Stade Francais back-row had only just returned to action after recovering from a foot fracture.

However Taylor tore the muscle in the 19-19 result against Clermont at the weekend and now faces eight weeks out.

It is the latest injury setback for the 30-year-old, who was an early casualty on both 2001 and 2005 British & Irish Lions tours.
