George Ford ruled out
George Ford will miss England’s Summer Series to Japan and New Zealand.
The fly-half is recovering from a pre-existing achilles injury and together with Sale Sharks it has been agreed that the 31-year-old will not tour with England this summer.
“Naturally we’re disappointed that George won’t be with us in Japan and New Zealand, but, following specialist medical advice, and in consultation with George himself, we have decided this is the best course of action,” said England head coach Steve Borthwick.
“George is a big part of the England team and is an excellent professional who I know will rehab diligently to ensure he gets himself right as soon as he can.”
