Leicester flanker Mike Williams has been ruled out of Englands autumn series after breaking his arm.?Williams was being considered at openside by Eddie Jones but now faces up to three months on the sidelines with the injury sustained while warming up before last Saturdays victory over Worcester.Mike is in a cast and will take some specialist advice, but it looks like 8-12 weeks, Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said.It is the third time in a year that Williams has sustained the same injury, resulting in a lengthier period of rehabilitation that would otherwise have been four to six weeks.Mike felt he had done something and thought it was just a bang, but the medical guys looked at it and Mike was pulled out before the kick off, Cockerill said.Mike is bitterly disappointed. You would have thought that had he continued the way he has been doing for the last couple of weeks he would have had a chance to play for England.The news means England have lost four players for the entire autumn series who were being considered at openside.James Haskell and Jack Clifford have succumbed to foot and ankle injuries, while Sam Jones broke his leg while practising judo during the recent ill-fated training camp in Brighton.Of the back row permutations being considered by Eddie Jones, the only option left available is Maro Itoje and Chris Robshaw packing down either side of Billy Vunipola.

The wet conditions meant spectators on the course were sparse in spots and caused several runners to re-tie shoelaces.At the 9-mile (15 kilometer) mark, 58 runners were within 10 seconds of the lead. Then runners started breaking away with Kipchoge, Rupp and Lilesa turned the marathon into a three-man race.

His first was at the Olympic trials in Los Angeles.I definitely fought it a while, Rupp said. I was still stubborn, wanted to be a track runner and thought I could do both. I was just happy I was able to close it out the way I did.Yonas Kinde finished 90th in the marathon as a member of the refugee team.
