England international Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss the remainder of the Nations Championship due to an ankle injury, it was confirmed on Tuesday. Feyi-Waboso was injured in the first half of the match against Australia, which England won 45-22.
The injury occurred in the 32nd minute, after Angus Bell executed a 'hip-drop' tackle on Feyi-Waboso. Bell was shown a yellow card for the action. Feyi-Waboso was replaced on the wing by Henry Pollock after the half-time break.
Feyi-Waboso had already missed the 2025 Six Nations following shoulder surgery, and was also absent from this year's tournament due to a hamstring injury. This is a new blow for the England team, which is struggling with injuries ahead of the tournament finale.
England will be without Seba Atkinson, Ollie Chessum and George Furbank in Saturday's match against Japan at Twickenham. Atkinson is absent due to a hip problem, Chessum has a shoulder injury, while Furbank will miss at least the match against Japan due to a groin injury. Tom Curry will not play this autumn due to hip discomfort.
Max Hicks and Jack Kenningham have been called up to the 36-man squad, and Archie McParland, Max Ojomoh, Noah Calouri and Tobias Elliott have also been included. England will host Japan at Twickenham, and then play New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 November. The final weekend of the competition takes place between 27 and 29 November.
There is hope that Atkinson, Furbank and Chessum will be available for the match against the All Blacks in 12 days.
