England Suffers Key Losses for Clash Against Argentina
England faces significant challenges ahead of Sunday’s crucial match against Argentina at Allianz Stadium, losing key players to injury.
Coach Steve Borthwick laments the losses after the 33-19 victory over New Zealand, a match that left significant consequences for the team.
Hooker Jamie George and center Ollie Lawrence are suffering from hamstring problems, while wing Tom Roebuck has a foot injury. All of them were injured during the match against the All Blacks.

In addition to the absences of Ollie Chessum and Tommy Freeman, who were already ruled out due to foot and hamstring injuries respectively, new casualties have been added, reducing England’s selection options in their quest to achieve their eleventh consecutive victory.
Noah Caluori, a teenage sensation, has been called up to the training squad as cover for the wing position, while the forwards have been reinforced with the incorporation of hooker Jamie Blamire and lock Charlie Ewels.Jamie George se perderá el enfrentamiento de Inglaterra contra Argentina en el Allianz Stadium.Fullback Freddie Steward, who left the match against New Zealand due to a possible concussion, has been cleared to play on Sunday.
George’s injury opens the door for Theo Dan to make his first appearance this autumn, with Luke Cowan-Dickie as the main hooker.
Lawrence’s absence is a hard blow, considering his outstanding performance against New Zealand, but the return of Elliot Daly, recovered from a fractured forearm, offers a high-level solution for the team.
Henry Arundell and Cadan Murley will compete for the wing position left by Roebuck, with the match against Argentina possibly too soon for the debut of 19-year-old Caluori.
Borthwick is scheduled to announce his team on Friday, but could bring the decision forward to Wednesday.
