Jones, 24, was called into the England squad for the first time by coach Eddie Jones and had been in contention to make his test debut.

“It’s a big blow and I really feel for Sam because he has worked his socks off for Wasps and deservedly got his call-up to England," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young told the club website.

“My biggest disappointment is for Sam as he’s been playing so well and I’m sure would have made a good impression in the England camp."
