England coach Eddie Jones has added Saracens loosehead Mako Vunipola and Bristol tighthead Kyle Sinckler in the 28-man squad ahead of the second round of Six Nations clash against Italy.

Sinckler was forced to miss the tournament opener against Scotland after he was handed a two-week ban for allegedly swearing at referee Karl Dickson during Bristol Bears' Gallagher Premiership game against Exeter Chiefs.

Meanwhile, Vunipola was ruled out of the game against Gregor Townsend's men with an Achilles injury but now will remain in contention for the game on 13th February at Twickenham Stadium.

Jones has released Harry Williams and Tom West back to their respective clubs.

England currently are at the fifth place in the Six Nations table following their 6-11 defeat to Scotland in the opening game of the competition.

England's 28-man squad:

Backs: Elliot Daly, Anthony Watson, Max Malins, Jonny May, Paolo Odogwu, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Ben Youngs, Dan Robson, Harry Randall.

Forwards: Beno Obano, Ellis Genge, Mako Vunipola, Will Stuart, Kyle Sinckler, Jamie George, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Maro Itoje, Charlie Ewels, Jonny Hill, Courtney Lawes, Tom Curry, Sam Underhill, Mark Wilson, Billy Vunipola, Ben Earl.
