Tom Curry will take part in England’s opening game of the World Cup against Argentina after the flanker was declared fit.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old missed all of his national team’s warm-up games last month and hasn’t featured in competitive game since May, when he sustained a severe ankle injury.<\/p>\n
England’s defense coach Kevin Sinfield expressed his delight about the news, pointing out that Curry is an excellent player.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to see Tom out there training,” Sinfield said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“He’s been excellent. He’s got a number of caps under his belt now and he’s been doing it for years. He can play a number of positions across the back row for us too. We’re delighted he’s available.”<\/p>\n
Curry’s return is a major boost for England, who have suffered real headaches with absent players, following the suspension Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola. They will hope the 25-year-old can strengthen their defense, which has conceded 11 tries in 4 warm-up matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
