ALEX King finally gets his season underway on Sunday, four days after being picked for the England squad.
The Brighton born outside half returns to the Wasps side to tackle last season's cup rivals Northampton in a Premiership showdown at Loftus Road. King has been sidelined by a shoulder injury since the summer but that did not stop Clive Woodward naming him in a 30-man England party for the Autumn internationals.
England under-21 and Worcester centre Andrew Higgins, from Horsham, will be out until after Christmas after sustaining a wrist injury.
"This is a real blow to Andrew and to Worcester," said Worcester chief executive Geoff Cooke.
