- Fly-half will miss Autumn Nations Series
- Scrum-half Alex Mitchell another worry
George Ford faces missing England’s autumn campaign due to the injury he sustained on Sale duty last Saturday. His club are still waiting for results of a scan to discover the full extent of the fly-half’s layoff, but there are fears Ford could be out of action for between six and eight weeks with a torn quad muscle.
England begin the Autumn Nations Series against the All Blacks on 2 November so it would be a blow for the 31-year-old, who missed the summer tour of Japan and New Zealand to have surgery on a troublesome achilles tendon, having started all of England’s matches in last season’s Six Nations.
