Injured Manu Tuilagi and Owen Farrell included in England squad for Australia tour
Coach Eddie Jones names four uncapped players – centre Ben Te’o, props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler, and back-rower Teimana Harrison
Manu Tuilagi has been named in England’s squad to tour Australia despite suffering a hamstring injury on Saturday that may rule him out of next month’s test series.
The powerful centre limped off the pitch during Leicester’s Premiership semi-final defeat by Saracens, a game in which England back Owen Farrell was also injured.
England will assess both players before a final decision on whether they will travel to Australia.
England coach Eddie Jones has named four uncapped players in his 32-man squad, including Leinster’s Worcester-bound centre Ben Te’o.
Other new faces include Leicester and Harlequin props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler, along with Northampton back-rower Teimana Harrison. There was no place for winger Chris Ashton or fly half Danny Cipriani.
Jones has also named a 26-man squad for next week’s match against Wales at Twickenham, which does not include any Saracens or Exeter players involved in the Premiership final.
