Tighthead prop fit for Sunday’s World Cup match in NiceSinckler suffered chest injury after warm-up matches
Kyle Sinckler is expected to make a welcome return from injury for England against Japan on Sunday after returning to full fitness following a chest problem.
Sinckler managed just two appearances from the bench in England’s four warm-up matches before, as revealed by the Guardian, he was struck down by injury which prompted fears he could miss out on the tournament entirely. He missed out against Argentina but it is understood that Sinckler is set to make his comeback against Japan either from the start or off the replacements bench.
