(Reuters) - England lock Maro Itoje will miss their final Six Nations match with Scotland on Saturday due to a knee injury, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Monday.

Itoje, who had sustained medial ligament damage during England's 32-20 win over holders Ireland in their opening game, suffered a setback in his bid to recover before Saturday's win against Italy when he limped out of training last week.
