Bath prop Will Stuart is likely out of the Investec Champions Cup campaign after suffering a suspected achilles tendon rupture during their 40-14 victory over Munster.
The injury occurred in the 47th minute after a scrum collapsed, with Bath's head of rugby Johann van Graan confirming it was serious.
Stuart's injury is also considered unwelcome news for England head coach Steve Borthwick's plans for the 2026 Six Nations campaign.
Bath secured a dominant win, scoring four tries within the first 18 minutes and earning five league points despite constant rain.
Munster captain Tadhg Beirne took responsibility for early errors, including a yellow card, which contributed to Bath's commanding lead.
