England wing Feyi-Waboso out of Nations Championship

England wing Immanuel Feyi-Wabodo has been ruled out of the rest of the Nations Championship as his injury misfortune continues.

The 23-year-old injured his ankle in the first half of Sunday's 45-22 win over Australia in a "hip-drop" tackle by Angus Bell, for which the Wallabies prop received a yellow card.

England will also be without a handful of other key players for the match against Japan on Saturday, with Seb Atkinson, forward Ollie Chessum and full-back George Furbank all ruled out.

In a further blow, it has been confirmed experienced flanker Tom Curry will not feature this autumn after feeling discomfort in his hip.

Newcastle's uncapped flanker Max Hicks has been called into the 36-man squad, along with Harlequins' Jack Kenningham, while scrum-half Archie McParland, centre Max Ojomoh and wings Noah Calouri and Tobias Elliott are also included.

After hosting the Brave Blossoms in Twickenham, England face the in-form New Zealand All Blacks at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 November.

The finals weekend takes place between 27-29 November.

Monday's injury update has taken the gloss off an exceptional England display against Australia, as Steve Borthwick's side produced their best performance of the year in a seven-try humbling of the Wallabies.

After bursting on to the international scene at the start of 2024, Feyi-Wabodo has established himself as an X-factor talent but has been beset by injuries.

He missed the Six Nations in 2025 after undergoing shoulder surgery and was absent from this year's edition with a hamstring injury.

Feyi-Wabodo was one of England's best players in the July leg of the Nations Championship, and had recovered from a hamstring problem picked up on club duty to start against Australia in a potent back three with Furbank and Tommy Freeman.

But Feyi-Wabodo suffered his latest injury in the 32nd minute after the tackle by Bell and was replaced on the wing by Henry Pollock, normally a back row, after half-time.

Meanwhile, with Atkinson absent with a hip problem, Borthwick will need to field a new centre combination, meaning Fraser Dingwall or Max Ojomoh are in line to play at inside-centre.

At full-back, Furbank produced a consummate performance in his first England game in two years, but now will miss at least the Japan match because of a groin niggle.

It is hoped Atkinson and Furbank - as well as vice-captain Chessum, who has a shoulder injury - will all be available to face the All Blacks in 12 days' time.
