## Key points

- Feyi-Waboso is out for England’s remaining autumn internationals.
- Surgery is currently thought unlikely, pending a scan review.
- A high ankle sprain could mean at least four to six weeks out.

## Summary

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter hopes Immanuel Feyi-Waboso’s ankle injury is not serious, though the England wing will miss the rest of the autumn internationals. The 23-year-old was substituted at half-time in England’s 45-22 win over Australia, and could still return for Exeter before the end of the year.

Feyi-Waboso is due to see a surgeon on Thursday to review scan results and agree a recovery plan; Exeter and England currently think surgery is unlikely. If the injury is a high ankle sprain, recovery could take at least four to six weeks, but Baxter said the timeline remains uncertain. Exeter are also managing injuries to back-three players Campbell Ridl and Tommy Wyatt, while Paul Brown-Bampoe has returned to action.
