Bath wing Anthony Watson is set to make a comeback for the England team after recovering from a fractured jaw.

The 22-year-old suffered the blow in October during England's training camp and is set to make his first appearance in three months for his club Bath Rugby in the Aviva Premiership clash against Exeter Chiefs.

With England coach Eddie Jones set to announce a 45-man elite squad on Saturday for a short camp in Brighton, Jack Nowell has also been named in Exeter Chiefs squad indicating his recovery from a thigh injury.

A likely return for Watson and Nowell along with the presence of Jonny May will mean Semesa Rokoduguni is set to miss out once again while Marland Yarde's place is also under threat with Jones likely to persist with Elliott Daly.

Billy Vunipola is all but certain to miss the Six Nations tournament with a knee injury but James Haskell is set to return to action soon after succesful rehabilitation from a foot surgery.

Saracens lock Maro Itoje will make a comeback to the side after missing the autumn internationals with an injury. Dylan Hartley is expected to captain the England side for Six Nations despite he was slammed with a six-week ban while playing for his club Northampton Saints.
