England suffer injury blow ahead of Scotland showdown

MANU TUILAGI will miss Saturday’s Six Nations clash against Scotland due to a “low-grade” groin strain but England head coach Eddie Jones is confident the centre’s tournament is not over.

The Leicester man was on Monday retained in a 34-man training squad to prepare for this weekend’s game at Murrayfield despite having limped off 16 minutes into Sunday’s 24-17 defeat to France in Paris.

Jones confirmed today that Tuilagi will not be available in Edinburgh, but is hopeful the 28-year-old will be back for the rest of the championship.
