England's Jonathan Joseph to miss World Cup clash against Australia?

England centre Jonathan Joseph is reportedly unlikely to be fit to face Australia in the Rugby World Cup clash on October 3.

The 24-year-old is a doubt for Saturday's encounter against Wales at Twickenham due to a knock that backs coach Andy Farrell claimed yesterday was "not too serious".

However, according to Sky Sports News, there are fears that Joseph will be unavailable for the showdown against Australia at the home of English rugby in 10 days' time.

England are second in Pool A, level on points with Wales after they won their opening matches.
