“Injury setbacks are never easy, but the squad remains focused on the opener.”
England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss the Six Nations opener against Wales after suffering a leg muscle injury during training earlier this week. The 23-year-old Exeter Chiefs player left the session early, and medical staff confirmed he will not play at Twickenham.
Tom Roebuck will step in on the right wing. Roebuck returns for his first match since November, having recovered from a toe problem, and will take on the role left vacant by Feyi-Waboso. His inclusion adds fresh energy to the squad as England prepare for a tough opener.
Feyi-Waboso’s absence is a setback for England, as he has been one of their most dangerous attacking threats with speed and power on the wing. Coaches and teammates remain confident in the squad, but the opening game will test the team’s depth and adaptability.
England will face Wales without one of their fastest backs. The team aims to start the Six Nations strongly while managing the challenge of missing a key player, and they hope Feyi-Waboso can recover in time for upcoming matches.
