Eddie Jones has named his 36-player England squad and called up a back-row reinforcement ahead of his team's Autumn Nations Series opener against Argentina.
England will take on Los Pumas at Twickenham Stadium this Sunday and will be without skipper Courtney Lawes - who will miss the matchup due to concussion - though they have welcomed back Owen Farrell and Jonny May to the training camp.
Sean Robinson, a 6-foot-4, 111-kilogram loose forward, also has been drafted in as a replacement for Northampton Saints' Lewis Ludlum, who is injured and will miss the match, too.
A statement reads: "Owen Farrell has returned to the squad and will continue through the latter stages of his graduated return to play protocols in camp. There is also a return for Jonny May.
"Lewis Ludlam was unavailable for selection following an abdominal wall injury sustained before he joined with the squad in Jersey. Newcastle Falcons' Sean Robinson has been called up to the squad.
"The group met at the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre in Bagshot today [Monday] ahead of this weekend's game."
