Summary

Exeter wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Northampton scrum-half Alex Mitchell are set to return for the Premiership final at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium on June 20. Both players were considered unlikely to participate due to injuries but have progressed well in their recovery. Feyi-Waboso underwent surgery for a facial fracture, while Mitchell strained his hamstring during an England training camp. England head coach Steve Borthwick confirmed their participation is contingent upon successful training this week. Their return is significant, with Feyi-Waboso potentially filling a gap left by an injured teammate and Mitchell providing vital experience to Northampton in a key matchup.
