Immanuel Feyi-Waboso faces injury tests after Australia win

England head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed that winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will undergo further medical assessment to determine the severity of an ankle injury sustained during Sunday's 45–22 Nations Championship victory over Australia at Allianz Stadium.

The Exeter Chiefs player was unable to return for the second half, raising concerns over his availability for England's upcoming fixture against Japan.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso Suffers Ankle Injury Against Australia

Feyi-Waboso played an important role in England's first-half performance as Borthwick's side established a 19–10 lead.

The winger required treatment following a hip-drop tackle by Australian prop Angus Bell, who received a yellow card for the challenge.

Although Feyi-Waboso continued playing until halftime, he did not return for the second period. He was subsequently seen wearing a protective boot during England's post-match celebrations.

Borthwick confirmed that further tests would be needed to establish the severity of the injury, with no recovery timeline yet determined.

“Feyi-Waboso needs a little bit more investigation,” said Borthwick.

“You obviously saw it. We don’t quite know (how long he will be out for).

“There was a number of other players carrying bumps and bruises out there today which having made early changes, meant that a little bit challenging in the last 15-20 minutes.

“I think that part of that is the jump from club rugby to Test rugby that they’ve done in a week, and I think the players have done really, really well".

Henry Pollock Scores Twice After England Backline Reshuffle

Back-row forward Henry Pollock replaced Feyi-Waboso at halftime and spent the entire second period playing on the wing.

Pollock scored twice within three minutes during the second half, helping England complete a seven-try victory despite the disruption to their backline.

Seb Atkinson's Fitness Uncertain for Japan Test

England centre Seb Atkinson also suffered a hip injury during the second half against Australia.

Borthwick said Atkinson appeared to have suffered a hip injury and did not expect a long-term absence, although he cautioned that it was too early to determine whether the Gloucester centre would be available against Japan.
