Maro Itoje will be unable to train during England’s first camp ahead of the autumn series in order to manage the concussion sustained in the final Test for the British and Irish Lions against Australia.

A big name omission from the 36-man squad picked by Steve Borthwick is Owen Farrell, whose return to Saracens for the upcoming season makes him eligible for selection.
