England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of the match against Scotland next weekend and is in danger of missing the entire Six Nations.

The 23-year-old started all four of England's autumn Tests but suffered a hamstring injury in training last week and missed Saturday's 48-7 victory over Wales.

Head coach Steve Borthwick recalled Henry Arundell for that game and he scored a hat-trick in the first half of England's championship opener.

Borthwick is hoping for a positive update when Feyi-Waboso sees a specialist, but he will miss the Calcutta Cup trip next weekend to Murrayfield and it appears doubtful the Exeter player will return in time to feature again in the Six Nations.

"It looks like Manny will be out for a number of weeks. I don't know how many, but it's a number rather than a single week, which is disappointing," Borthwick said.

"But that's unfortunately the nature of elite sport - there are injuries and then you have to adapt."

The Six Nations has been condensed this year, with five rounds of matches spanning just six weekends.

• England's riot club focus on fine-tuning after walloping Wales
