"Both players are currently being assessed by specialists to establish an accurate prognosis.

"James Hook and Gareth Anscombe, who were both part of Wales' Rugby World Cup training squad and featured in warm-up Tests ahead of the tournament, have been called into the squad as replacements.

"Liam Williams sustained concussion in the same (England) game and will not be considered for the Fiji fixture due to the impending time frame of the game.

"He will be continually assessed and is to undertake a graduated return to play before being considered for selection for Wales' following game against Australia."
