Leicester lock Parling left the pitch after three minutes of their defeat by Ulster while Northampton flanker Wood hurt his ankle in the 32-8 loss to Racing Metro.

The pair had been named in Stuart Lancaster's Six Nations training squad ahead of the Feb. 6 game against Wales and join a number of other England players on the treatment table as the hosts prepare for the World Cup in September and October.

Dave Kearney and Eoin Reddan were also injured in Leinster's draw at Wasps and could be doubtful for Ireland's Six Nations bow in Italy on Feb. 7.
