Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss Exeter’s Champions Cup trip to Toulouse after injuring his hamstring in Sunday’s win over Newcastle, but reports on 14 October say the winger is expected to be fit for England’s Nations Championship matches next month.

What Exeter’s assessment means for England

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said a scan showed little and that the player’s symptoms and assessment did not suggest a long-term problem. The club is monitoring how Feyi-Waboso feels and functions over the following week, so his return date remains uncertain.

England’s first of three remaining Nations Championship matches is against Australia at Twickenham on 8 November, BBC Sport reported.
