BOURNEMOUTH tennis star Jodie Burrage is set to miss the entirety of the grass-court season, including Wimbledon, after failing to recover from injury.

Currently British number three, Burrage announced in March that she would be out for a few months following surgery on her wrist.

But Burrage will have to continue resting in order to let the injury fully heal.

Last year Burrage recorded her first win at a major with victory over Caty McNally before being knocked out by Daria Kasatkina in the second round.

Taking to Instagram, Burrage shared: “As much as I'm trying to be positive about my situation, I'm absolutely gutted to be sitting on the sidelines for the grass court season this year.

"Near full rupture of my ATFL ankle ligament and a torn retinaculum will keep me out for a while, no surgery required but I do need to take time to let it heal which will involve missing all grass tournaments and Wimbledon.

"It truly kills me not to compete but my body just won't allow it right now. I'm going to use this time to rehab my wrist and ankle properly, and to get in the best shape I can before I return."
