England stars Ellie Kildunne and Sadia Kabeya will miss this weekend’s Premiership Women’s Rugby fixtures.

They travelled to the United Arab Emirates last week before the conflict in the Middle East escalated.

They have been unable to return to the UK.

Harlequins full-back Kildunne will miss the game against Saracens, while Kabeya will be out of action for Loughborough Lightning against Sale Sharks.
