England coach Eddie Jones has called-up Bath winger Semesa Rokoduguni to the ongoing training camp in Portugal.

The decision follows after Wasps wing Elliot Daly is expected to be out of action for three weeks following his recent knee injury.

Daly suffered a grade two medial collateral ligament tear during Wasps' Aviva Premiership victory over Northampton on Saturday and will miss the training camp in Portugal along with his club team-mate Matt Mullan, who also suffered an injury in the same game.

"The pair will remain with Wasps to follow the rehab schedule with the club's medical team, who will keep in regular contact with the England medical team," read a statement released by Wasps.

Rokoduguni has played two Tests for England until now - one in 2014 and another in 2016 - and will look to carry on his rich vein of form from the domestic circuit.

"The only thing I can control is to keep performing with Bath and we will see whatever comes up.

"It is a contact sport. Anything can happen in the next couple of weeks whether in training or in games with injuries.

"You never know the next opportunity may be just around the corner. I will keep performing, keep looking after my body and try to get better every day.

"There has been contact with Eddie (Jones) about the way I have been playing. In the past couple of games, he has been happy with my defensive improvement.

"I need to keep working on my connection between the 13 and the backfield coverage, reading the play and making the right decision at the right time, whether to step in or to give the attacking players the edge.

"The more feedback I get, the better I can get. Every day is a learning day for me."

England will face Argentina, Australia and Samoa in their autumn internationals on 11th, 18th and 25th November respectively at Twickenham.
