Jonny May will again be absent from England’s lineup this weekend with the lingering effects of Covid still delaying his return to full training. The Gloucester winger did some light running on Tuesday but is not poised to return for this weekend’s second Test against Australia.
May missed his side’s first Test defeat in Perth after testing positive shortly after arriving in Australia. He emerged from isolation on Friday but has yet to recover sufficiently to be in contention for Saturday’s all-important game at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. While Billy Vunipola and Jack Nowell also missed training with minor knocks, both are expected to be available to face the Wallabies.
