Stuart, 26, suffered the injury during his 25th cap for England in the defeat 27-13 defeat to South Africa back in November at Twickenham.

The Bath tighthead's return is timely for Borthwick as Bristol Bears' Kyle Sinckler suffered a cut to the face when he collided with the boot of Bears team mate Ellis Genge on Sunday during the 31-14 victory against Italy.

England have met up today at The Lensbury, Teddington for the camp. They will be joined by a group of players from England U20s for training sessions.

The squad will continue their preparations for their upcoming Guinness Six Nations fixtures with Wales up next at the Principality Stadium on February 25.

Sinckler, along with England vice-captain Courtney Lawes - who has a calf injury, remain in camp with England to undertake rehab work.

Those players named will not feature in Round 17 of the Gallagher Premiership this weekend.
