England: Owen Farrell, Jonny May withdraw from squad ahead of end-of-year Tests due to injury

England boss Eddie Jones has made some injury-enforced changes to his 36-man training squad for this year’s Autumn Nations Series with Henry Slade, Adam Radwan and Tom Roebuck called up as replacements.

The trio will join the England set-up ahead of the November Internationals and five-day training camp in Jersey after Owen Farrell (concussion), Jonny May (elbow) withdrew from the squad after the weekend’s Premiership matches while Henry Arundell’s ankle injury will be assessed by England’s medical staff.

“Owen Farrell (concussion), Jonny May (elbow) and Henry Arundell (foot) have withdrawn from the England squad who will travel to Jersey today after sustaining injuries in their weekend games,” read an England statement.

“Tom Roebuck has been called up to the England squad for the first time. Adam Radwan and Henry Slade also make a return to the side. Owen Farrell will progress through his graduated return to play protocols at home.

Will Stuart also doubtful

“Henry Arundell will travel to Jersey for rehab, along with Will Stuart who is recovering from a knee injury. Charlie Atkinson, who is currently unattached, will join up with the England squad as a training player.

“England will spend five days in Jersey as they continue their preparations for their four Autumn Nations Series fixtures at Twickenham Stadium.”

England kick off their end-of-year international campaign against Argentina at Twickenham on November 6 before they face Japan, New Zealand and South Africa at the same venue in their other respective Tests.
