England prop Jamie George limped out of Sarcens’ 32-24 defeat to Castres within the Champions Cup on Sunday, simply weeks earlier than the 2025 Six Nations match is about to start.
George was changed as England captain by Maro Itoje when Steve Borthwick introduced his squad for the annual match on Tuesday, and his participation now appears to be like unsure, though the extent of the damage is but to be decided.
“Jamie has harm his hamstring,” Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall mentioned. “We’re not fairly positive how severe it’s in the meanwhile.”
It should come as unwelcome information for Borthwick, with England already with out winger Immanuel Feyi‑Waboso, flanker Sam Underhill and full-back George Furbank as a consequence of accidents.
England will spend subsequent week in Girona, Spain at a heat climate coaching camp forward of the match. Their first recreation shall be in opposition to Eire in Dublin on Feb. 1.
