Reports: England Hit With Major Injury Blow For Remainder Of Pool Stage Games

England could be without centre Jonathan Joseph for the remainder of their Group A pool stage games at the World Cup according to reports.

The player player sustained a pectoral injury against Fiji on Friday and will likely miss the crucial game against Wales this weekend and possibly the encounter with Australia on October 3rd. England play Uruguay in their final game of the pool stages.

Joseph started the game against Fiji - which England won 35-11 - at outside centre. It's expected that either Sam Burgess or Henry Slade will take his place for Saturday's game against Wales.

If @Jonathanjoseph0 is not fit @Sladey_10 is the best 13. @EnglandRugby
