Mitchell injury adds to England concerns
England scrum-half Alex Mitchell left Northampton's 28–14 Premiership win over Gloucester with a suspected hamstring injury, the Guardian and Sky Sports reported. The setback makes him a major doubt for England's Nations Championship opener against Australia and adds to the national team's injury problems one week before the match.
Why it matters
Losing Mitchell would force a late selection adjustment in a key position immediately before England's international campaign.
