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 event is about to start.
George was changed as England captain by Maro Itoje when Steve Borthwick introduced his squad for the annual event on Tuesday, and his participation now appears to be like unsure, though the extent of the damage is but to be decided.
“Jamie has damage his hamstring,” Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall mentioned. “We’re not fairly positive how critical it’s in the mean time.”
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 because of accidents.
England will spend subsequent week in Girona, Spain at a heat climate coaching camp forward of the event. Their first sport will likely be in opposition to Eire in Dublin on Feb. 1.
