London Wasps prop Matt Mullan has been called up to the England squad ahead of their Autumn International against New Zealand on Saturday.
The 26-year-old comes in as cover for Mako Vunipola, who looks unlikely to face the All Blacks at Twickenham after picking up a knee injury.
"Mako is still recovering from a knee injury so we are bringing Matt in as cover," England head coach Stuart Lancaster told reporters.
England came from behind to beat Australia 20-13 earlier this month before racing to a 31-12 win over Argentina on Saturday.
Mullan's only previous cap for England came as a replacement in the 2010 Six Nations against Italy.
