England head coach Eddie Jones retains 26 players in the build-up to next Saturday's meeting with France in Paris.

Eddie Jones has retained 26 players in the England camp ahead of next weekend's Six Nations meeting with France.

Skipper Dylan Hartley did not take part in training on Tuesday afternoon, but the 29-year-old is expected to be fit in time to feature at the Stade de France.

Matt Mullan has been named as cover for Joe Marler, who is the subject of a disciplinary hearing for allegedly striking Rob Evans in the win over Wales last time out.

That victory, coupled with defeat for France at the hands of Scotland 24 hours later, means that England head to Paris on Saturday aiming to secure a Grand Slam success.

Elsewhere in the squad, Tommy Taylor - called into the 32-man squad on Sunday - has been retained as a travelling reserve along with Luke Cowan-Dickie and injury doubt Hartley.

England squad to face France in full:

Forwards: Kieran Brookes (Northampton Saints), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers),Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), James Haskell (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), George Kruis (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Matt Mullan (Wasps), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Tommy Taylor (Sale Sharks), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Mako Vunipola (Saracens)

Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath), Alex Goode (Saracens), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs), Manu Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers), Anthony Watson (Bath), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
