Owen Farrell has been left out of England's squad ahead of the upcoming Autumn Nations Series.

The former England captain featured in midfield for the British and Irish Lions in the summer.

However, despite injuries to several inside centres, he has not been included in Steve Borthwick's 36-player squad for a three-day training camp ahead of next month’s internationals.

Tom Willis has also been omitted from the group heading to Pennyhill Park to step up preparations.

Willis had established himself as England's first-choice number eight, but his move from Saracens to French Top 14 side Bordeaux makes him ineligible for selection under current rules.

Nineteen-year-old Noah Caluori, who scored five tries for Saracens against Sale on Saturday, joins the squad as a development player.

England’s campaign begins against Australia at Twickenham on 2nd November, followed by matches against Fiji on the 9th, New Zealand on the 16th, and Argentina on the 24th.
