(Reuters) - Former England flanker Steffon Armitage has suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will be out of action for up to nine months, his club Pau said on Monday.

Armitage, 32, sustained the injury in Pau's 16-10 semi-final defeat by Cardiff Blues on Saturday that knocked the French Top 14 side out of the European Challenge Cup.

Pau are seventh in the Top 14 standings with 62 points from 24 games and face leaders Montpellier on Sunday.
