Joe Marchant is set to be among three changes when England welcome Ireland to Twickenham next weekend.
Luke Cowan-Dickie has joined Manu Tuilagi on the sidelines after suffering an injury against Wales during their Six Nations clash last weekend.
Head coach Eddie Jones’ stuttered to a 23-19 victory at Twickenham to remain third in the title race with two rounds of the 2022 tournament to play.
However, the narrow win came at a cost as Lions hooker Cowan-Dickie suffered knee damage and joins hamstring victim Tuilagi on the sidelines.
The England boss said: “Luke is having a scan and I would think he’s highly unlikely to be available. Manu probably needs something in the vicinity of a 10-day rehab.”
