Immanuel Feyi-Waboso Undergoes Surgery, Ending Six Nations Campaign and Jeopardizing Lions Spot

The England and Exeter wing faces a race to recover from a shoulder injury in time for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia this summer.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, 22, dislocated his shoulder in December and underwent surgery this week after months of deliberation over treatment options.
The surgery rules him out of the remainder of the Six Nations, where he was initially hoped to make a late return to England's squad.
Feyi-Waboso’s recovery timeline is estimated at 12-14 weeks, leaving limited time to prove his fitness ahead of Andy Farrell’s Lions squad announcement in late April or early May.
The decision-making process between England and Exeter Chiefs over his treatment has drawn scrutiny, with delays potentially impacting his recovery timeline.
Feyi-Waboso had a standout debut year for England, scoring five tries in eight Tests, and was considered a strong contender for the Lions backline prior to his injury.
