England coach Brian Ashton looks likely to start Josh Lewsey at fullback for the Six Nations clash with France in Twickenham after Olly Morgan was ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
Morgan damaged his right shoulder during England's record 43-13 Six Nations defeat to Ireland in Dublin last Saturday, and was forced off after just 30 minutes at Croke Park.
The 21-year-old, who has won two caps, will be operated on on Monday to repair damage following consultation with a specialist today.
He faces 12 weeks on the sidelines, and with his Gloucester and England colleague Iain Balshaw still recovering from a groin problem, Wasps wing Lewsey looks likely to wear the England number 15 shirt on Sunday week.
Uncapped Wasps flanker James Haskell was this morning named in a 28-man England training squad.
Haskell joins 21 of the players on duty when England were crushed by Ireland in Dublin, plus Mark Cueto, Jason Robinson, Mike Catt, Tim Payne, Steve Borthwick and Nick Easter.

The 21-year-old Haskell has impressed for Wasps this term, while his representative career saw him graduate from last season's Grand Slam-winning England Under-21 side to play for England Saxons against Italy A and Ireland A in recent weeks.
Bath captain Borthwick will put pressure on the secondrow pairing of Louis Deacon and Danny Grewcock to face France on Sunday week, while Sale Sharks wing Cueto could feature in England colours for the first time since Andy Robinson's last game as coach against South Africa more than three months ago.
Injuries sidelined Cueto, scorer of 13 tries in 18 Tests, since the Springboks encounter, but he recently returned to action with his club.
Ashton, who is due to name his starting line-up on Tuesday, will look closely at the effectiveness of centre partnership Mike Tindall and Andy Farrell, but it is up front where England were exposed by a rampant Irish pack.
Changes in every row of the scrum cannot be ruled out, with prop Julian White, lock Tom Palmer, flanker Tom Rees and the recalled Borthwick all presenting strong selection cases.
England, despite their Dublin debacle, remain in the title shake-up, but defeat to France - a country they have not beaten since the 2003 World Cup semi-final triumph in Sydney - would render those hopes redundant.
