Eddie Jones has named his final 25-man England squad for their Guinness Six Nations opener away to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
Manu Tuilagi could be in line for his first Championship appearance since 2016 after being included, while Owen Farrell is fit to captain the side.
England will be without Joe Cokanasiga, Brad Shields and Ben Te’o, although the trio will remain with the squad as they continue their rehabilitation from injury.
And in Te’o’s absence, Tuilagi could be set for a spot in the centres, with Jones also able to call on Farrell, Henry Slade or Elliot Daly in midfield.
Up front Billy Vunipola is set to make his return, having missed the Autumn Internationals, while Joe Launchbury is also in the squad having recently made his playing comeback.
The squad are currently in Portugal at a training camp, and will fly to Dublin on Thursday ahead of the game.
