"Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England's pursuit of the triple crown while Steve Borthwick has concerns over the fitness of Ellis Genge for the Calcutta Cup on Saturday. Feyi-Waboso pulled out of the 48-7 victory against Wales after sustaining a hamstring injury in training last Friday and was replaced by Tom Roebuck. According to Borthwick, the Exeter winger will be out for a number of weeks, ensuring he misses the trip to Murrayfield and the visit of Ireland to Twickenham a week later."
"In better news for Borthwick, the Bath centre Ollie Lawrence is set to come back into contention to face Scotland after making progress in training while the Northampton fly-half Fin Smith is also in the frame for selection as England seek what would be only their second win at Murrayfield since 2016. Ollie looked really good training-wise at the end of last week, Borthwick said. Fin was back in full training last week and trained very well. He looked in great condition."
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss several weeks after sustaining a training hamstring injury, ruling him out of the trip to Murrayfield and the Twickenham match against Ireland. Tom Roebuck replaced him and delivered a strong performance. Ellis Genge started but was withdrawn at half-time as a precaution amid a suspected hamstring niggle; he was fit to start and left the field fine after 40 minutes. Ollie Lawrence has progressed in training and is back in contention to face Scotland. Fin Smith has returned to full training and is being considered for selection as England pursue a rare Murrayfield win.
