Bath are top of the Premiership, as it stands, having won five of their opening six games.<\/p>\n

However they were narrowly beaten 24-20<\/a> in torrential conditions against two-times Champions Cup winners La Rochelle at the Rec last weekend in their opening European game. <\/p>\n

Prop Archie Griffin suffered a shoulder injury during the defeat which Van Graan said the club needed to do “more research” on, and captain Ben Spencer has been doing rehab work on a hamstring injury, with a decision on his inclusion to be made later in the week.<\/p>\n

England flanker Sam Underhill has been back at Farleigh House training as is prop Beno Obano, while Alfie Barbeary continues to be monitored under return-to-play protocols after suffering a head injury. <\/p>\n

“The Champions Cup is a big competition, we’ve got three big games in the Premiership coming up over the Christmas period in Newcastle away, Saracens at home Northampton away,” Van Graan said.<\/p>\n

“Then we’ve got Clermont and Leinster then we’ve got to go away without English players to Sale and three Prem Cup games before this block ends.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to plan up to the back-end of January.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
