England Suffers Key Losses for Clash with Argentina
England faces significant challenges for Sunday’s crucial match against Argentina at Allianz Stadium, losing three key players to injury.
Coach Steve Borthwick laments the injuries after the 33-19 victory over New Zealand, which has sidelined Jamie George, Ollie Lawrence, and Tom Roebuck.
George and Lawrence are suffering from hamstring problems, while Roebuck has a foot injury, all sustained during the match against the All Blacks.

In addition to these absences are those of Ollie Chessum and Tommy Freeman, previously ruled out due to foot and hamstring injuries, respectively, which significantly reduces the selection options for England in their quest for an eleventh consecutive victory.
Noah Caluori, a teenage sensation, has been called up to the training squad as cover for the wing position, while the forward pack is bolstered by the addition of hooker Jamie Blamire and second row Charlie Ewels.Jamie George se perderá el enfrentamiento de Inglaterra con 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’s first appearance of 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 Elliot Daly’s recovery, after a fractured forearm, offers a high-level solution for England.
Henry Arundell and Cadan Murley will compete for the wing position left by Roebuck, with the match against Argentina possibly too soon for Caluori’s debut.
Borthwick is scheduled to announce his team on Friday, but could bring the decision forward to Wednesday.
