Northampton Saints and England prop Trevor Davison is unlikely to play again this season because he needs surgery on a knee injury. The 33-year-old was hurt during last weekend's 21-17 win at Saracens, which kept them on top of the Prem table. Davison was not the only casualty with England fly-half Fin Smith now subject to head injury protocols and fellow prop Manny Iyogun needing treatment following a back spasm. Northampton have won three of their four Champions Cup games, while Castres have a 2-2 record in their group. Saints beat them twice at Franklin's Gardens in last season's competition, but director of rugby Phil Dowson told BBC Radio Northampton they know their opponents will be a huge threat.
