Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England’s pivotal clash with Scotland and is in danger of missing the entire Guinness Six Nations.
Feyi-Waboso suffered a hamstring injury in training last week, resulting in his withdrawal from the starting XV for Saturday’s 48-7 victory over Wales.
Head coach Steve Borthwick is well stocked for wings with Henry Arundell scoring a hat-trick of tries in the round one showdown at Allianz Stadium and Tom Roebuck making a successful comeback from a broken toe. Tommy Freeman and Elliot Daly are also options.
But England would still want to field their main strike weapon for the attempt to claim a first win at Murrayfield since 2020 and with the rest of the Championship in mind, will be hoping for a positive update when Feyi-Waboso sees a specialist.
“It looks like Manny will be out for a number of weeks. I don’t know how many, but it’s a number rather than a single week, which is disappointing,” Borthwick said.
“But that’s unfortunately the nature of elite sport – there are injuries and then you have to adapt.”
