Saracens prop Juan Figallo will miss the start of the new Premiership season, the World Cup and the Rugby Championship after suffering a knee injury.
The tighthead, 27, was on a training camp in Sydney with the Argentina national side. He has won 22 caps for Los Pumas.
Figallo has now returned to Saracens to begin the recovery process. Centre Marcelo Bosch remains with the Argentineans.
