England<\/a> coach Steve Borthwick<\/a> has suffered a massive injury blow with the news that star winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso<\/a> is set to miss the whole of the Six Nations.<\/p>\n

The Exeter Chiefs<\/a> flyer was ruled out of Saturday\u2019s 48-7 walloping of Wales<\/a> at Twickenham after picking up a serious hamstring injury in training on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Cardiff-born medical student, 23, started all four of England\u2019s autumn Tests, scoring tries in the wins over Fiji<\/a> and Argentina, and has been in superb form for the Chiefs<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

He scored seven tries in their opening five games of the campaign, including a hat-trick against Newcastle<\/a> Red Bulls, and has scored 11 in 17 appearances for club and country. Sources in the England camp say it is not good news.<\/p>\n

Borthwick opted to give a surprise recall to Tom Roebuck<\/a> just after saying that he was a week or so away from fitness, suggesting that he would be ready for the Calcutta Cup game against Scotland<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Manny] pulled out of training in the last 60 seconds and unfortunately won\u2019t be available this weekend. He sustained a pulled muscle in the leg area.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes it disrupt some plans? Yes, it does because it\u2019s changing a player. But we\u2019ve done everything we can to make sure the next player is ready,\u201d said England assistant coach Tom Harrison.<\/p>\n

Borthwick now needs to decide whether to stick with the Sale Sharks<\/a> winger, who played his first game since breaking a toe against the All Blacks<\/a> in the autumn, or recall Elliot Daly.<\/p>\n

He also has the option of moving Tommy Freeman<\/a>, who finished the win over Wales on the wing, and could start there in Edinburgh, especially as Bath\u2019s Ollie Lawrence<\/a>, who missed the game with a knee injury, is set to return to fitness.<\/p>\n

Lawrence seems likely to partner Fraser Dingwall<\/a> in the centre, with Borthwick set to keep changes to a minimum after watching his side run in seven tries.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Speaking on Sunday, Borthwick confirmed the RugbyPass story, saying: \u201cIt looks like Manny will be out for a number of weeks. I don\u2019t know how many, but it\u2019s a number rather than a single week, which is disappointing. But that\u2019s unfortunately the nature of elite sport \u2013 there are injuries and then you have to adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England coach Steve Borthwick has suffered a massive injury blow with the news that star winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-415021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
