OWEN FARRELL will miss Saracens’ Gallagher Premiership home game against Northampton tomorrow because of a knee problem.

England captain Farrell is set to sit out the Six Nations after deciding to take a break from international rugby in order to “prioritise his and his family’s mental well-being,” but was still set to play club rugby.

The 32-year-old fly-half — who helped England to a third-place finish in the recent World Cup after losing to champions South Africa by a point in the semi-finals — picked up the injury during last weekend’s Premiership win over Bristol.
