Scotland-born winger Tom Roebuck will link up with England's squad ahead of Jersey training camp, according to the Mail Online.
Eddie Jones will be without Henry Arundell (ankle) and Jonny May (concussion) after both players picked up injuries on Friday night.
Roebuck, who was born in Inverness, began his rugby journey at Chester Rugby Club aged five, joining Sale Sharks’ academy, and later his first team debut against Worcester in October 2018.
He continued his try scoring with England U18s from 2018 into 2019, scoring against both Scotland and France in 2018.
The 2021/22 Premiership season was a breakthrough campaign for Tom, as a run of six tries in six games in January 2022 cemented his place in Alex Sanderson’s squad.
