England head coach Steve Borthwick says it is “very realistic” that captain Maro Itoje will miss all three of England’s summer fixtures. Both reports attribute the assessment to Borthwick, who is responding to the likelihood of Itoje not being available for the matches scheduled for the summer period. The information presented in the sources focuses on Borthwick’s expectation rather than confirmation of a final squad decision. The reports agree that Itoje would miss all three fixtures and that Borthwick’s view reflects the current situation. Beyond the coaching comment and the number of fixtures affected, no further details about the reason for Itoje’s potential absence or the specific opponents in the summer games are provided in the supplied articles. The accounts therefore present a consistent message: Borthwick considers it very likely that Itoje will not feature in England’s summer matches.
