"Crisis" - England's full injury list is now up to six ahead of 2023 Rugby World Cup

The absence of Captain Owen Farrell and No8 Billy Vunipola in the initial match against France, owing to suspensions, could result in England being devoid of five key members from their preferred starting fifteen.

Adding to the challenge is the prior unfortunate sidelining of scrum-half Jack Van Poortvliet due to injury, further dimming the overall prospects for England.

Refer to the complete injury list for the England team below.

Anthony Watson was ruled out of the entire tournament yesterday with a calf injury, with the luckless wing likely to be replaced by Jonny May in England's 33-man squad.

England's belief in Daly's readiness to commence the World Cup as a starter remains strong; however, concerns have arisen about his ability to secure a spot in the lineup for the pivotal opening match. In response to this uncertainty, Joe Cokanasiga has been included in the squad as a potential alternative for the versatile playmaker role.

Curry sustained the injury in training earlier this month and hasn't featured in any of England's World Cup warm-up matches. There are reports he may be replaced in the squad if he shows no progress in the next week.

Reportedly, Sinckler is dealing with a chest issue that has rendered him unavailable for Saturday's game against Fiji. There is a sense of optimism within the England camp regarding his recovery in time for the commencement of the World Cup. In light of this situation, Leicester's Joe Heyes, a forward, has been summoned to join the team as a prospective stand-in.
