Anticipation ... David Pocock - in his last Test appearance - will have to wait another week to return. Source: AAP
Australia's European tour nightmare has continued with star flanker David Pocock and second-rower Kane Douglas both ruled out of the Wallabies' clash with England at Twickenham on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).
Pocock had a calf muscle injury which is expected to see him miss one Test while Douglas has a knee injury.
The pair had scans on Monday afternoon with the results confirming that both would have to bypass the game, which kicks off at 1.30am on Sunday morning (AEDT).
Pocock hasn't played for the Wallabies since the opening match of the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks due to a medial ligament injury.
As the pair will be reassessed ahead of Australia's next Test the following weekend against Italy, standby forward Scott Higginbotham will not be sent to the UK at this stage.
Higginbotham still has one match to serve in his suspension for striking All Blacks captain Richie McCaw but he would be available for the third leg of the tour against Italy in Florence on Saturday (Sunday AEDT) week if required.
Australia were hammered 33-6 in the opening game of the European tour by France in Paris last weekend.
Watch the Wallabies take on England Live on Fox Sports 3HD at 1:30am on Sunday.
