England's Feyi-Waboso in Injury Scare Ahead of Six Nations Opener

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso missed the end of training with a sore leg and is ruled out of England’s Six Nations opener against Wales, with Elliot Daly set to replace him.

  • England are assessing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's leg after a training problem reported on 05/02/2026 at Bagshot.
  • During the closing moments of training, he pulled up and walked off after reporting a sore leg, missing the final 60 seconds as England defence coach Richard Wigglesworth said `His leg's sore` and `there was nothing much to it`.
  • Feyi-Waboso is ruled out of Saturday's Wales visit to Allianz Stadium, forcing a late selection decision with Elliot Daly likely to replace him on the right wing.
  • Jamie George will captain England against Wales with Maro Itoje on the bench, and George said he was delighted to lead, adding `I love this job`.
  • Coaches described the problem as an `only slight concern` even as selectors ruled Feyi-Waboso out for Saturday, creating a short-term selection dilemma for England coaches and medics.
