England are looking at the very real prospect of another Six Nations campaign without Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, with the winger set for an extended spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
The Exeter Chiefs winger was initially named in the starting XV to face Wales this weekend, but limped out of training in the build-up and was later replaced by Tom Roebuck.<\/p>\n
And now, it seems the worst fears of head coach Steve Borthwick have been realised, with the winger set to see specialists on the issue.<\/p>\n
\u2018Manny looks like he will be out for a number of weeks\u2019<\/p>\n
Feyi-Waboso has had his fair share of injuries in the 12 months, sitting out the second half of last year through a shoulder issue and later missing Exeter\u2019s opening PREM Rugby Cup fixtures this season with another hamstring problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cManny looks like he will be out for a number of weeks,\u201d said Borthwick<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how many weeks. We\u2019ve got specialist opinion before I know exactly how many weeks he is, but there\u2019s a number rather than a single, which is disappointing.<\/p>\n England v Wales: Winners and losers as powerhouse produces \u2018statement display\u2019 but \u2018Pom Squad\u2019 fails to fire<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cBut that\u2019s unfortunately the nature of elite sport. There are injuries and then you have to adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n However, despite losing Feyi-Waboso for the foreseeable future, England<\/a> could be boosted by the returns of key backs Ollie Lawrence and Fin Smith for their trip to Murrayfield next weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cOllie Lawrence looked real good training-wise at the end of last week,\u201d the head coach said. \u201cHe ran yesterday, and there were very positive reports around that. But I\u2019ll get the full medical report.<\/p>\n Want more from Planet Rugby?

First week back in full training, and trained very well. Looked in great condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
