Tom Curry returns for England's clash with Japan on Sunday but Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has lost his own race to be fit for the final November international at Twickenham.

Both players were concussed in the 42-37 defeat by Australia in the second match of the series, ruling them out of Saturday's 29-20 loss to South Africa.

While flanker Curry has completed the graduated return-to-play protocols, wing Feyi-Waboso remains unavailable and is not present in the 36-man training squad named by Steve Borthwick.

Curry replaces Charlie Ewels in the group that assembled at England's training base on Tuesday with wing Cadan Murley called up as a replacement for Elliot Daly, who is struggling with an unspecified injury.

Apart from the change enforced by Daly's absence and the return of Curry, Borthwick has retained the same players who have been present throughout the November series.

England must beat Japan to avoid a whitewash this month - they also lost to New Zealand - and Borthwick is likely to make only minor changes to his starting XV even though Eddie Jones' Japan are ranked a lowly 13th in the global standings.
