Lawes ‘sore’ after training session at team base in FranceSteve Borthwick already has several injuries in his squad
Steve Borthwick is still sweating on a host of injury concerns before England’s World Cup opener against Argentina on Saturday, with several frontline players facing a race against time to prove their fitness.
Courtney Lawes became the latest senior player to emerge with a fitness worry that forced him to miss a pre-tournament ceremony in Le Touquet – England’s base camp in northern France. Lawes was described as “sore” after England’s first training session at their team base last Friday while Tom Curry and Elliot Daly, who have been nursing ankle and knee injuries respectively, were unable to take part. George Martin (knee) was also absent while Kyle Sinckler and Manu Tuilagi undertook modified training. Henry Arundell has also been struggling with a back spasm.
