Leicester Tigers lock is anticipated to return the following year.

Following surgery for a shoulder ailment, Ollie Chessum will not be participating in England’s summer tour.

The Leicester Tigers lock is not anticipated to return to club action until the beginning of the following season, missing the remainder of the Gallagher Premiership campaign.

As a result, the 23-year-old will miss England’s two Test matches in July in New Zealand as well as the Test match in Japan in June.

Due to his versatility as a blindside flanker and lock, Chessum has become a mainstay in Steve Borthwick’s pack.

His physicality, precision, and stature have greatly enhanced England’s tight game in both set-piece and breakdown play.

George Martin, his teammate for the Tigers, will have to make up more of that lost ground when the Tigers play Eddie Jones’ Brave Blossoms in Tokyo on June 22, the All Blacks in Dunedin on July 6, and Auckland one week later.

Chandler Cunningham-South of the Harlequins, who made waves during the Six Nations, is a candidate to start in the back row.

This term, the powerhouse from New Zealand has advanced significantly, and he is eager to return to his old haunts and challenge the All Blacks.

Ethan Roots, a powerful blindside presence from Exeter who is returning to his home country of New Zealand, might step in to lead the team.
