England Suffers Key Losses for Clash with Argentina
The English rugby team faces a significant challenge before their crucial Sunday encounter against Argentina at Allianz Stadium. Coach Steve Borthwick will have to reorganize his strategy following injuries to Jamie George, Ollie Lawrence, and Tom Roebuck, who will be unable to participate in the match.
These losses add to the cost of the 33-19 victory over New Zealand, a match that, while successful, left significant after-effects on the team.
Hooker George and center Lawrence are suffering from hamstring problems, while Roebuck has a foot injury. All of them were injured during the match against the All Blacks.

The absence of these players is compounded by that of Ollie Chessum and Tommy Freeman, who had already been ruled out due to previous injuries, reducing England’s selection options in their quest for an eleventh consecutive victory.
Noah Caluori, a young prospect, has been called up to the team to cover the wing position, while the forwards group is strengthened with the incorporation of Jamie Blamire and Charlie Ewels.Jamie George no estará disponible para el partido de Inglaterra contra Argentina.Freddie Steward, who left the match against New Zealand due to a possible concussion, has been cleared to play on Sunday. Although he did not pass the first assessment, he passed the next two, which are decisive.
George’s injury opens an opportunity for Theo Dan, while Luke Cowan-Dickie could be the starting hooker. Lawrence’s absence is a blow, but the return of Elliot Daly, recovered from a forearm fracture, offers a high-level alternative.
Henry Arundell and Cadan Murley will compete for the wing position left by Roebuck. It seems unlikely that 19-year-old Caluori will make his debut for the team.
Borthwick is scheduled to announce the team on Friday, but could do so earlier, even on Wednesday.
