- Feyi‑Waboso underwent facial surgery on Wednesday after a jaw injury sustained in Exeter’s win over Leicester.
- Exeter will be without Feyi‑Waboso for their final Premiership match against Saracens on Saturday, a game that could determine whether they reach the playoffs.
- England’s medical team says Feyi‑Waboso should be fit for the July 4 test against South Africa, despite likely having missed more than a month of match play.
- Feyi‑Waboso previously missed the Six Nations with a hamstring injury and missed the second half of last season with a shoulder injury, which sparked a dispute between England and Exeter over his treatment.
Why it matters: Exeter risk losing a key winger for a crucial playoff‑deciding match, while England gamble on his fitness for the South Africa test after a month‑long layoff, potentially affecting squad selection.
