(Reuters) - England's Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is set to miss the entire Six Nations tournament after the winger dislocated his shoulder while playing for his club Exeter Chiefs, British media reported on Tuesday.
Feyi-Waboso injured his shoulder in a Premiership game against Sale Sharks last month and The Times reported the 22-year-old has opted to have surgery that could rule him out for up to three months.
The Six Nations get underway on Jan. 31, with England playing their first match a day later against Ireland. England coach Steve Borthwick will name his Six Nations squad next week.
Feyi-Waboso was England's breakthrough star last year after he impressed with his pace and work-rate, scoring five tries in eight matches.
The injury is also a huge blow to the youngster who was looking to impress at the Six Nations and earn a call-up for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia in June.
Feyi-Waboso's participation at the autumn internationals last year was cut short when he suffered a concussion against Australia, forcing him to miss tests against South Africa and Japan.
