Jones waits for news on Youngs injury
Posted Monday, February 05, 2018 by PA
England will discover the extent of Ben Youngs’ knee injury on Monday but the Leicester scrum-half is expected be ruled out for at least one match.
Youngs suffered ligament damage nine minutes into a 46-15 NatWest 6 Nations victory over Italy at the Stadio Olimpico and had to be driven from the pitch on the medical cart.
The 28-year-old cried out in pain after his knee buckled awkwardly during a tackle, ending his afternoon and leaving him a major doubt for at least Saturday’s clash with Wales at Twickenham.
“Ben will have an examination tomorrow (Monday) so we’ll know more after that,” head coach Eddie Jones said.
“He’s unlikely to be available for the Wales game. It’s too early to make any sort of prediction, but I’m always optimistic.”
