Exeter boss Rob Baxter says clubs must have talks with England to discuss how injured centrally-contracted players are dealt with.

Baxter has lost winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso for the rest of the season after the 22-year-old re-injured his shoulder while training with England.

Feyi-Waboso had been ready for surgery in early January after he dislocated his shoulder just before Christmas.

But England have the final say on medical issues with centrally contracted players under the new Professional Game Partnership agreement and delays with the RFU's involvement in the management of the injury led to surgery being postponed.

Feyi-Waboso had been reacting well to non-surgical treatment until he was hurt last week.

"Everyone's agreed that the whole scenario around how things have worked needs to be discussed post Six Nations on how things should happen and how they should work going forward," Baxter told BBC Sport.

"If someone gets injured before Christmas and he's only having an operation now, then somewhere in the process something's gone wrong hasn't it">
