ANTHONY WATSON says he did nothing wrong after re-rupturing his Achilles at an NFL photo-shoot.
The England and Lions star needed a second operation this summer, after hurting himself at an American Football event during his rehab.
But Watson, who will also miss the autumn internationals, revealed that his Achilles was like a ticking time-bomb and it was BETTER that he did it now, rather than later.
Speaking ahead of BT Sport’s Rugby Tonight show, the 24-year-old said: “I wasn’t doing anything I shouldn’t have been doing, I was going to catch a ball, and it just re-ruptured.
“I saw the surgeon and he said it wasn’t heeling how it was supposed to, so it was just a procedure failure, which is unlucky in my case.
“The tendon wasn’t knitting together and my calf was rising up and pulling the tendon apart, so it wasn’t a case of me, as much as people want to talk about it, being negligent.
“It was actually lucky it happened when it did because it could have happened four or five months down the line and I would be set back even further.
“You can let these things get to you and break you down, or use them to your advantage, which is what I am trying to do.”
Watson hasn’t played since England’s final Six Nations defeat to Ireland in March.
And Eddie Jones will have been less than impressed at the nature of how he lost one of his best players ahead of an autumn against South Africa, New Zealand, Japan and Australia.
Targeting an early comeback, Watson added: “It’s looking like early to mid-January – potentially, it could be late December if I push it.
“But I want to make sure everything is right after being in a boot for four months. I am trying to make myself a better player and have no doubt I will be. I have been in every day doing everything I can.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
