Saracens will be without Sean Maitland for the European Champions Cup final after it was confirmed he will miss the rest of the campaign through injury.

The wing has been ruled out with ankle ligament damage and could also be a doubt for Scotland's summer tour against Italy, Australia and Fiji.

Saracens head coach Mark McCall paid tribute to Maitland and said he has been in great form for the Aviva Premiership side.

"Sean is unfortunately out for the rest of the season, he's got an ankle ligament injury," said McCall. "It may or may not need surgery, but we won't find out for a few days. It's cruel luck for a player who has been in such great form.

"I just feel sorry for Sean as he's had a great season and been a first-choice pick for us."
