Henry Slade could miss the start of the NatWest 6 Nations after missing England’s Portugal training camp due to a shoulder injury.
The Exeter Chiefs playmaker suffered a shoulder complaint in his side’s 28-21 Champions Cup defeat at Glasgow on Saturday.
The 24-year-old will undergo further investigations into his shoulder complaint, becoming a doubt for England’s opening Six Nations clash against Italy in Rome, on February 4.
“Henry Slade has not travelled to Portugal for England’s training camp,” read a Rugby Football Union (RFU) statement.
“Slade will remain with Chiefs for further assessment of a shoulder injury he sustained on the weekend.”
