Sale wing Tom Roebuck is set to join up with the England squad on Monday ahead of their training camp in Jersey – after being called up in response to injuries over the weekend.
The 21-year-old from Chester has been summoned by head coach Eddie Jones after Henry Arundell and Jonny May joined a growing casualty list in a damaging London Irish-Gloucester game in Brentford on Friday night.
Arundell is understood to have aggravated a foot injury and May has a suspected elbow dislocation which could lead to another long lay-off.

Roebuck has been summoned in place of May, as due reward for three tries in Sale’s winning run at the start of this Premiership season.
He scored twice in front of Jones as the Sharks dismantled Irish at home on Friday, October 14, to continue an impressive introduction to senior rugby.
Having already played for England at Under 18 and Under 20 level, Roebuck has been widely heralded as a balanced and physically-imposing runner.
After making his Sale debut in January of this year, he showed his try-scoring instincts with six tries in his first six appearances.
