Elliot Daly, 33, signed a new contract keeping him at Saracens until 2027‑28. The lock fractured his arm twice in ten months, the second hit coming during a warm‑up for the British and Irish Lions last July that ruled him out of the rest of their tour. The injury has cost Saracens a pillar in the back row.

Andy Onyeama‑Christie, 27, has seen his season cut short by a string of injuries. He has twice broken his arm and also fractured and dislocated his ankle in recent campaigns. Despite 19 appearances for Saracens this season, he agreed new terms in February, but the latest arm fracture means he will miss the remainder of the campaign.

Saracens will return to Premiership action on 19 April away at Sale, with six games left in the regular season. The squad has been buoyed by the return of prop Alec Clarey, who has been sidelined since November, and the near‑availability of flanker Max Eke, who missed play since February 2025. Back‑rower Toby Knight is also back in training after a long‑term knee injury.

With their core forwards weakened by injuries, Saracens face an uphill battle to secure a Champions Cup spot. The loss of Daly’s experience and Onyeama‑Christie’s dynamism leaves the back row thin, while Clarey’s return offers some solidity. The club must rely on depth and discipline in the remaining fixtures to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.
