The 2025-26 campaign has been a disrupted one for Ewels, who said he has “never had a season like this”.
He came back to Bath following a successful summer tour with the England team, starting both Test wins in Argentina.
But a knee injury suffered in their second Prem game ruled him out for seven weeks, before he made his comeback with England, coming off the bench during the Autumn internationals.
After another three games for Bath, though, he was back on the sidelines with the infection, all-but ending any hope he had of challenging for a spot with England during the Six Nations and with the league then taking an eight-week break.
“The Six Nations block for me then probably came at the wrong time, that’s probably when I would have been playing rugby,” he said.
