Rugby-England pair miss warm weather training due to injury

(Corrects Clifford's position) LONDON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Injuries have prevented England's Jack Clifford and James Haskell joining the Six Nations squad for warm weather training in Portugal, the RFU said in a statement on Monday. The Harlequins back-row forward and Wasps flanker were due to fly out on Monday but were injured in club games on Sunday and will now undergo further medical assessments. A decision will then be made on when they can join the squad. England's first match is against France on Feb. 4. (Reporting by Neil Robinson; editing by Ken Ferris)
