“Ollie Chessum’s Fitness in Doubt for England’s Autumn Internationals After Knee Injury”

England is facing uncertainty regarding Ollie Chessum's fitness ahead of their autumn internationals, starting with a match against New Zealand on Saturday. The 24-year-old lock sustained a knee injury during a training camp in Girona last week, raising concerns about his availability. Chessum, who missed the summer tour of Japan and New Zealand due to a shoulder injury, has been in excellent form for Leicester this season. He played a key role in the Six Nations earlier this year, starting every match, and is highly regarded by head coach Steve Borthwick. His versatility has been particularly valuable, as he has been utilized in both the second row and as a blindside flanker, especially following Courtney Lawes' retirement from international rugby. As Chessum awaits the results of a scan on his knee, England will be hoping for positive news regarding his condition.
