Feyi-Waboso expected to be fit for England's Nations Championship campaign

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso tweaked hamstring playing for Exeter against Newcastle; wing is on track to feature in England’s opening Nations Championship Test against Australia on November 8; England then play Japan on November 14 and New Zealand on November 21

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is expected to be fit for England's Nations Championship campaign this autumn after receiving a positive update on his hamstring injury.

The explosive wing hobbled off in the second half of Exeter's 34-28 victory over Newcastle last weekend.

Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter insists Feyi-Waboso is expected to return sooner rather than later, suggesting he should be available for the opening Nations Championship fixture against Australia on November 8.

Baxter said: "Manny's got some awareness there. The scan doesn't show up too much and on testing he's very good.

"We're hopeful that we can treat the symptoms he's showing and see where he gets to over the next week or so.

"Looking at how he's reporting post-game and (Monday), there's nothing I'm hearing from our physios saying there should be a long-term issue now.
