England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out for the rest of the Nations Championship after injuring his ankle in Sunday’s 45-22 win over Australia, adding to a growing list of absentees ahead of Saturday’s match against Japan.
The 23-year-old was hurt in the first half following a tackle by Australia prop Angus Bell, who received a yellow card. Feyi-Waboso was replaced after 32 minutes.
England will also be without centre Seb Atkinson, forward Ollie Chessum and full-back George Furbank against Japan. Flanker Tom Curry has been ruled out for the rest of the autumn after feeling discomfort in his hip.
Uncapped Newcastle flanker Max Hicks and Harlequins flanker Jack Kenningham have joined England’s 36-man squad. Scrum-half Archie McParland, centre Max Ojomoh and wings Noah Caluori and Tobias Elliott are also included.
England host Japan at Twickenham on Saturday before facing New Zealand on 21 November. The Nations Championship finals weekend is scheduled for 27-29 November. The BBC reports that Atkinson, Furbank and Chessum could be available for the New Zealand match.
