England's Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss the Six Nations after having shoulder surgery.
The wing initially opted not to have surgery on a dislocated shoulder sustained before Christmas after discussions between England and Exeter Chiefs.
England head coach Steve Borthwick said earlier this month there was a "possibility" Feyi-Waboso could be back before the end of the Six Nations.
On Wednesday, the Exeter wing posted a photo of himself in hospital following the surgery on Instagram, with the caption "minor setbacks, we go again".
It is understood the 22-year-old's shoulder did not respond to rehabilitation as he hoped, so he opted to have surgery.
Feyi-Waboso was shortlisted for World Rugby's breakthrough player of 2024 after scoring five tries in his first eight England appearances.
