His club mate Youngs and Worcester prop Nick Schonert also suffered injuries in the match that forced them to withdraw from the squad, while British media reported that Harlequins prop Joe Marler had pulled out for personal reasons.

A Rugby Football Union statement said uncapped 20-year-old Leicester centre Jordan Olowofela would come into the squad in place of Tuilagi.

Coach Eddie Jones will name a squad next month for November tests against South Africa, New Zealand, Japan and Australia at Twickenham.
