Tommy Wyatt returns to Exeter training following knee surgery

Full-back Tommy Wyatt has returned to the field for Exeter following a lengthy recovery from a second serious knee injury. The 26-year-old saw his first match action in a pre-season friendly against Scarlets at Sandy Park last weekend, where he played the first half. Wyatt previously missed the entire 2024-25 campaign after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament, marking his second major knee injury in two years. Exeter boss Rob Baxter expressed optimism regarding the player's return, noting that Wyatt is now transitioning from a rehabilitation program back into regular team selection. The staff plans to focus on technical development to restore his previous form as a primary attacking threat. Wyatt is expected to be available for Exeter when the club opens its Prem Rugby Cup campaign against Bristol this Saturday.
