England prop Andrew Sheridan will miss all of November's Test program at Twickenham after being ruled out for four months with a shoulder injury, the Rugby Football Union announced on Monday.

Sheridan suffered the setback when a scrum collapsed during Sale's European Cup victory over Cardiff on Friday.

The 29-year-old Lions front row will undergo a full reconstruction of his left shoulder on Wednesday.

Sheridan joins full-back Delon Armitage and centre Riki Flutey, who have also sustained shoulder injuries, in being sidelined from the November internationals against Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
