England captain Owen Farrell to miss entire Six Nations after ankle surgery

England boss Eddie Jones has confirmed Owen Farrell will miss the entirety of the Six Nations after suffering a freak ankle injury in Saracens training.

The Red Rose captain was named in England's squad for the tournament despite having not featured since he suffered an ankle injury facing Australia in November.

However, an unexpected setback while training with Saracens last week led to the fly-half seeing a specialist, and the resulting surgery - which the club have confirmed will take place on Wednesday - will now see the skipper miss the whole tournament.
