Tommy Wyatt To Undergo Second ACL Surgery

Exeter Chiefs full back Tommy Wyatt will miss the beginning of the 2025/26 season following surgery on his knee.

Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter gave an update on the latest injury blow for Wyatt and the 25-year-old’s possible recovery period.

“Sadly, having suffered an ACL injury on his right knee last season, Tommy has now ruptured the ACL on his left knee. He now has surgery booked in and will face six-to-nine months in a rehabilitation process to return to play.

“Everyone is gutted for Tommy. He worked extremely hard to come back from last season’s injury and was beginning to really breakthrough again in our most recent games.

“From what we’ve been told from our medical contacts, this is an injury that Tommy was more structurally predisposed to suffering having already injured his other ACL.

“The only slight positive we can take from this situation is that once he completes this latest period of rehabilitation, Tommy will be even stronger.

“We know he’ll work extremely hard to get back fit. Everyone is helping to ensure he remains in good spirits, and we’ll all do what we can to try to get him moving forward in his recovery as soon as possible.”
