England Suffers Key Losses for Clash Against Argentina
The England selection faces a considerable challenge ahead of Sunday’s crucial match against Argentina at Allianz Stadium. Steve Borthwick’s team has suffered significant losses due to injuries, which will force adjustments to the starting lineup.
Following the 33-19 victory over New Zealand, the English team has lost Jamie George, Ollie Lawrence, and Tom Roebuck to injuries. These key players will miss the match against Los Pumas.
The hooker George and the center Lawrence are suffering from hamstring problems, while the winger Roebuck has a foot problem. All of them were injured during the match against the All Blacks.

In addition to these absences are those of Ollie Chessum and Tommy Freeman, who had already been ruled out due to foot and hamstring injuries, respectively. This significantly reduces England’s selection options, as they seek their eleventh consecutive victory.
Noah Caluori has been called up to the training squad as cover for the wing position, while the forwards have been reinforced with the addition of hooker Jamie Blamire and lock Charlie Ewels.Jamie George se perderá el partido 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. Steward passed the concussion assessment tests.
George’s injury opens the door for Theo Dan’s first appearance in the autumn, with Luke Cowan-Dickie as the main hooker.
Lawrence’s absence is a tough blow, given his outstanding performance against New Zealand, but the return of Elliot Daly, recovered from a fractured forearm, offers a high-level alternative.
Henry Arundell and Cadan Murley will compete for the vacant wing position due to 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.
