England will be without Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry for the remainder of their Nations Championship campaign due to injury.

England have ruled out Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry for the remainder of their Nations Championship campaign. Feyi-Waboso sustained a right ankle injury during the first half of England's 45-22 win against Australia at Allianz Stadium, whilst Curry picked up a hip injury during training the previous week.

Head coach Steve Borthwick's side faces further injury problems ahead of Saturday's clash against Japan at Twickenham. Seb Atkinson (hip), Ollie Chessum (shoulder) and George Furbank (groin) will all miss the match but are hoped to be available for the following encounter with New Zealand on 21 November.

Feyi-Waboso's absence during the Australia match saw Henry Pollock replace him on the wing at half-time, scoring twice off the bench. The Independent reports that Pollock could now feature in the back row against Japan, given the extent of England's injury crisis. Borthwick will need to make significant changes to his backline and also faces a shortage of openside flankers, with Guy Pepper and Sam Underhill also unavailable.
