According to reports in England, James Haskell is set to be named in England’s next squad despite being out with a toe injury.
Haskell played in England’s first two Tests during the 3-0 whitewash over the Wallabies but he suffered a serious toe injury.
The Wasps star was ruled out for up to four months but he could still play a part in the autumn matches, according to reports.
Haskell will need to prove his fitness before the England team head off to a training camp ahead of the games at Twickenham, but the 31-year-old could be unexpectedly lining up against the southern hemisphere sides.
