Members of the England rugby squad have been struck by a sickness bug ahead of their Pool-deciding match against France.
Captain Owen Farrell and England's top try scorer of the World Cup so far Luke Cowan-Dickie are among those to suffer from the illness, while the likes of Billy Vunipola, Jack Nowell and Joe Marler are potentially missing out through injury.
Farrell was missing at the start of England's training session on Tuesday due to the stomach bug and both he and Cowan-Dickie have been consigned to limited training.
England's match with France hangs in the balance with the threat of Typhoon Hagibis , but England will be hoping to finish on top in order to miss a potential quarter final clash with Wales.
The most likely player to miss the match through injury is Vunipola, who was at the team hotel by an England fan.
Speaking to the media, England attack coach Scott Wisemantel said: "Today Owen was just a bit crook in the stomach, he was a bit sick. That is the only reason that he came out later on.
"We have got another player who has got an upset stomach as well, Luke Cowan-Dickie. Luke trained a wee bit, just a little bit of throwing."
Farrell was on the end of two tackles which resulted in red cards in two consecutive matches, for USA's John Quill and Argentina's Tomas Lavanini, which led to concerns about the fly-half's health.
During the Argentina match, Farrell missed his first four kicks at goal in an uncharacteristic performance.
Wisemantel said: "I don't think the bump had any effect on him.
"I asked after the game, he said he felt pretty good, just a bit clunky with a few of the plays. But I thought he did outstandingly well.
"The goal kicking, it would be easy to panic and say let's change to George, but the boys changed the problem on the field and he said he was approaching the ball too square, fixed it, and away he went."
Discussing the selection for the France match, Wisemantel said resting players was not at the forefront of their minds.
He added: "The first thing is to win the game. The next game is the most important, so France is our priority.
"That is where our heads at. From there we can make decisions around who might be rested, who might not."
