Fly-half Marcus Smith has been left out of England's training squad before next week's Six Nations match against France, with George Ford returning.
Smith's omission from the 26-man group means he will return to Harlequins and indicates he will not be in the matchday squad to face France.
It also means a long-awaited return for Sale Sharks player Ford, who has not played for England since March 2022.
England play France at Twickenham at 16:45 GMT on Saturday, 11 March.
