DANNY Cipriani and Tom Voyce will miss Wasps' Guinness Premiership final against either Gloucester or Leicester.

Both players were rushed to hospital after getting injured in Wasps' 21-10 play-off win over Bath at Adams Park this afternoon.

Cipriani's injury looks like being the most severe.

Cipriani was tackled by Olly Barkley and got trapped at the bottom of a ruck in the 49th minute.

He suffered a suspected dislocated ankle in the second half. There is also the possibility of a fracture and ligament damage, which could sideline the 20-year-old for the rest of 2008.

Voyce went off with a dislocated shoulder and three attempts to reset it at the ground all failed.

Wasps will confirm the extent of both injuries tomorrow.
