England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is declared fit to play and is expected to start for Exeter Chiefs in the Premiership final against Northampton at Twickenham. The decision follows recent facial or jaw surgery, with multiple reports noting that he undergoes the procedure earlier in the month and is close to returning in time for the final. BBC and other outlets say he clears himself to feature after discussions involving Exeter and England’s medical teams, and that England raises no objections to him playing. The Guardian adds that England’s medical team indicates there are no concerns, with Exeter’s director of rugby, Rob Baxter, saying the final call is made by Feyi-Waboso himself. The coverage also mentions that Exeter winger Ethan Roots is set to return for the match. The final is described as a major boost for Exeter as they seek a first Premiership title since 2020. Several reports present the availability as both a significant sporting development and a key timing factor given his recent surgery.
