England’s full injury list is frightening with 20 players currently unavailable
Unavailable for training camp due to injury:
Lewis Ludlam (Northampton Saints) – Hip
The flanker suffered a hip injury during their defeat to Bath.
‘Lewis has got a hip pointer, quite a bad one I think, but nothing structurally upset, that’s my medical version,’ said Northampton coach Phil Dowson.
Owen Farrell (Saracens) – Concussion
Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs) – Knee
On Cowan-Dickie, Exeter head coach Ali Hepher said. “It’s his knee. He couldn’t carry on, but we are not sure of the extent yet. We will have to assess.”
Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints) – Concussion
Jonny May (Gloucester) – Dislocated elbow
May is a major doubt for England’s autumn series after suffering a suspected dislocated elbow in Gloucester’s 22-21 Gallagher Premiership victory over London Irish on Friday night.
