England have encountered their first injury setback since arriving in France for the World Cup after Jack Willis was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Willis suffered a neck problem in the 71-0 victory over Chile on September 23 \u2013 his only appearance of the group phase \u2013 and on Wednesday night England learned he would be ruled out for several more weeks.<\/p>\n

Head coach Steve Borthwick will call up a replacement for the Toulouse back row, to be named in due course, who is likely to join up with the squad in Marseille for quarter-final week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really disappointed for Jack because he\u2019s been an important member of this team,\u201d Borthwick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done really well, played an important role in the Chile game and is an important member of this squad over the last period of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate the injury will be just a few weeks but given the timescales we\u2019re operating to it means he will be replaced in the 33.\u201d<\/p>\n
