Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder has revealed that he is "hopeful" that Ben Foden did not suffer a broken ankle in Friday's win at Bath.
England international Foden was taken off during the Saints' 18-14 victory at The Rec.
"It's an ankle injury but I don't know a lot more about it than that," Mallinder said. "The doctor thinks that it's not broken. We're hopeful it's just a strain."
Northampton's triumph over Bath saw them keep up their 100% start to the new season.
