Manny Feyi-Waboso's hamstring tweak looks minor, keeping the Nigeria-qualified flyer on course for England's Nations Championship opener against Australia.
Nigeria-qualified wing Manny Feyi-Waboso has dodged a major scare. Early scans on the hamstring he tweaked for Exeter against Newcastle on Sunday show no serious damage, and he remains on course for England's Nations Championship Test against Australia on 8 November.
Medical staff from Exeter and England have both reviewed the results. The early indications are positive, though the 23-year-old will sit out the Chiefs' opening Champions Cup pool match away at Toulouse on Saturday as a precaution.
Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter is hopeful the winger will be back in action before long. Feyi-Waboso is one of England's most dangerous attacking weapons, and his availability for the Australia clash is a timely lift for the national side.
For fans across Nigeria and the wider African diaspora, the 23-year-old's rise is a story worth following closely. A scare that could have been much worse has instead become a short wait, with the focus now on getting him fully fit for the Nations Championship.
