Injury-ridden England make six changes in training squad

Nov 9 - England's injury woes deepened with knocks to Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Seb Atkinson in Sunday's record win over Australia and coach Steve Borthwick has made six changes to his 36-man training squad ahead of this weekend's Japan test.

• Ollie Chessum and George Furbank are also set to miss Saturday's match in London, prompting Borthwick to call up Noah Caluori and Max Ojomoh from the England A squad for the Nations Championship clash

• Wing Feyi-Waboso, a standout performer in Sunday's win, suffered a right ankle injury from a hip-drop tackle by Australia's Angus Bell and will miss the rest of the tournament, British media reports said

• Flanker Tom Curry, who had missed the Australia test with a hip injury, is also out of the remaining Nations Championship matches

• Centre Atkinson will go into rehabilitation after suffering a hip injury in the 64th minute, England Rugby said on Monday

• Scrum-half Archie McParland has recovered from a calf issue and replaced Harry Randall in the squad

• England sit second in the Northern Hemisphere table, two points below France, with two group matches left
