Back rower Tom Curry faces a race against time to be fit for England’s Six Nations opener against Scotland after suffering a hamstring strain.<\/span><\/p>\n He left the field in the 16th minute after his right leg was hurt during a tackle by prop Wilco Louw.<\/span><\/p>\n The 24-year-old, who has 45 caps, is now a doubt for the Scots’ visit to Twickenham on 4 February.<\/span><\/p>\n “Even if a hamstring injury is the lowest grade, they’re generally two to three weeks,” said Sale director of rugby Alex Sanderson.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’ve just spoken to Tom and said get your head on for the Six Nations but don’t stop being a leader for us over the next two or three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n “He’ll get a scan. He’s walking around and it’s stiffened up now. It’s not one of those where he limped off the field so fingers crossed he will be available against Scotland.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
