Manu Tuilagi has been named in England's squad to face Wales in this weekend's potential Six Nations decider at Twickenham.
The 24-year-old has not featured for the Red Rose since the summer of 2014 due to a troublesome groin injury.
However, having recently been called up to the training squad, and continuing to build up his fitness for club side Leicester Tigers, Tuilagi could now play a part against Wales.
Alex Goode is the man to make way from the 24-man squad, with head coach Eddie Jones scheduled to announce his starting XV on Thursday afternoon.
Elsewhere, Northampton Saints prop Kieran Brookes is also included, while Luke Cowan-Dickie provides cover for Jamie George.
Wales, who have named an unchanged side for Saturday's showdown, trail unbeaten England by one point in the Six Nations standings.
England squad to face Wales: Kieran Brookes, Dan Cole, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jack Clifford, Jamie George, Dylan Hartley, James Haskell, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Joe Launchbury, Joe Marler, Chris Robshaw, Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Mike Brown, Danny Care, Elliot Daly, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Jonathan Joseph, Jack Nowell, Manu Tuilagi, Anthony Watson, Ben Youngs
