Pau's Armitage out for up to nine months with Achilles injury

(Reuters) - Former England flanker Steffon Armitage has suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will be out of action for up to nine months, his club Pau said on Monday.

Armitage, 32, sustained the injury in Pau's 16-10 semi-final defeat by Cardiff Blues on Saturday that knocked the French Top 14 side out of the European Challenge Cup.
