Injury Crisis Hits England's Women's Six Nations Squad
England's roster is facing significant challenges due to a series of injuries, with Hannah Botterman and May Campbell being the latest casualties in the Guinness Women's Six Nations. Botterman requires a second surgery for an ankle injury she sustained in December while playing for Bristol, and Campbell will undergo knee surgery next week. Additionally, Alex Matthews, the number eight, will miss the upcoming match against Scotland due to a shoulder issue she sustained during the 33-12 win over Ireland. To address these losses, Delaney Burns from Bristol Bears and Liz Crake from Saracens have been added to John Mitchell's squad. These setbacks occur just days after it was announced that Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt would be out for the remainder of the Six Nations due to leg injuries. The squad was already missing several key players, including Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan, who are all expecting and will be out for the foreseeable future.
