Injury forces England squad changes for Japan Test

England head coach Steve Borthwick has made late adjustments to his squad for the upcoming clash against Japan at Twickenham, following injuries to key players.

Elliot Daly has been ruled out of Sunday’s season finale after sustaining an injury during training. Harlequins winger Cadan Murley has been called up as his replacement.

In a separate change, Tom Curry returns to the squad after recovering from a head injury that kept him out of England’s previous match against South Africa.

Curry takes the place of Charlie Ewels, who has been replaced after featuring in England’s narrow loss to Australia earlier this month.
