EDINBURGH, Sept 25 (Reuters) - ⁠Scotland’s record try-scorer Darcy Graham faces ⁠three months on the sidelines after rupturing ‌hisbicep and will miss November’s home matches in the new Nations Championship.

• The 29-year-old winger, who has 38 ​tries in 57 Test appearances, ⁠suffered the injury playing ⁠for Edinburgh in a pre-season friendly defeat to ⁠Harlequins ‌last week, and his club coach Sean Everitt said he would be ⁠out for a minimum of 12 weeks.

• "It's ​not an ‌injury that you can rush a player ⁠back ​from. You know, some players heal quicker than others. That would be the worst-case scenario for ⁠us, and I have to ​prepare that way," said Everitt on the eve of the new United Rugby Championship season, where ⁠Edinburgh take on Ulster in Belfast on Friday.

• Scotland face New Zealand, Australia, and Japan at Murrayfield in the Nations Championship in ​November before a finals weekend ⁠fixture at Twickenham.

• Grahamshould be back in time ​for next year's Six ‌Nations tournament, which gets underway ​in early February.
