Ollie Chessum out of the England squad, ankle injury

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/64958975

Quote from Sinfield:
"Really disappointed, he's been outstanding for us throughout this campaign," assistant coach Kevin Sinfield told BBC Sport.

"He's a big loss for us. So our thoughts and wishes are with him and we hope for a speedy recovery."

Sounds like Chessum out for at least the season...

This also suggests it's a pretty serious one if his mum is tweeting this.

Saw one post on Twitter that it's a "snapped ankle".

Think we're at let's keep fingers crossed for the World Cup...

So that’s now Kelly and Chessum crocked in England training sessions.
Thinking Borthwick is making sure we won’t have a squad big enough to challenge for honours this season.
This is why I loathe the England international periods!

Chessum fractured ankle - facing 5-6months out according to reports.

Doubt for the WC now… a cruel blow for Ollie. Best of luck with the recovery!

That's more information than we would ever get from Tigers.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

That is a bit of a tersely worded statement. I am guessing that Tigers are, obviously, not happy about the injury but also not happy about the way the story was released. Almost sounds like the press were given the information before Tigers.

With team leaks and other stories getting out, it looks like SB is having a harder time controlling the press than he did at Tigers. The Telegraph seems to have a direct line to the England camp with more leaked stories than came out in SBs entire time at Tigers.

It's just factual. The story was released when England announced the updated squad, and no doubt Tigers would have known that, and that the England camp is as leaky as my plumbing.

There's not really much to say on the matter until he's been operated on. It could be anything from a few months out and back before the RWC to career ending. The less said they better at the moment.

I don't think you can infer anything of the club's view or emotions from that.

Seems the initial estimate of 5-6 months came from Borthwick himself

Very sad for Ollie. He is young so plenty of World Cups to play in and I think this would be a good one to miss.
I really hope he isn’t rushed back: England can wait: rush back and the injury could be one that causes further problems.
Good luck Ollie we will certainly miss you in the exciting end to the season.
