Owen Farrell a doubt for Tonga test

England captain Owen Farrell is in doubt for England's clash with Tonga on Saturday.

Farrell was named at flyhalf for the clash against the Pacific Islanders but news from the camp suggests he may not feature in the encounter.

England confirmed the news that Farrell returned a positive PCR test result for COVID on Friday.

Owen Farrell will miss today’s Captain’s Run training session after receiving a positive PCR test result for COVID, the statement read. 


He will remain in isolation and will be LFT and PCR tested again today.




All other player and staff PCR test results received are negative and England are continuing preparations for tomorrow’s match against Tonga (Saturday 6 November, 3.15pm KO).
