England dealt major injury blow as Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry ruled out of Nations Championship

England have suffered a significant injury setback after Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry were ruled out for the remainder of the Nations Championship.

Feyi-Waboso sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's 45-22 victory over Australia. The Exeter Chiefs winger was hurt in the first half following a tackle by Australian prop Angus Bell, who was subsequently sent to the sin bin. Henry Pollock replaced him after the interval and scored two tries.

Curry, meanwhile, will also miss England's remaining autumn fixtures after picking up a hip injury during training last week. The Sale Sharks flanker had already been unavailable for the victory over Australia.

Steve Borthwick's side have further concerns ahead of Saturday's meeting with Japan, with Seb Atkinson, Ollie Chessum and George Furbank also expected to miss the game. Atkinson has a hip problem, Chessum is recovering from a shoulder injury, while Furbank is dealing with a groin issue.

England are hopeful that the trio could return for the clash against New Zealand on November 21, although their availability will depend on their recovery.

Feyi-Waboso's absence could open the door for Saracens winger Noah Caluori, who has been included in the training squad. Several other players have also been called up as Borthwick prepares for a challenging run of fixtures.

England face Japan at Allianz Stadium on November 14 before taking on New Zealand a week later. The Nations Championship finals weekend is scheduled for November 27-29.
