Leicester Tigers centre Manu Tuilagi has been named in a 33-man England training squad for the Six Nations game with Wales at Twickenham.
Tuilagi, who last played for England in 2014, has been out for 15 months with groin and hamstring problems.
Flanker Dave Ewers is also included in the squad, after recovering from a knee injury.
England leads the Six Nations with three wins from three games, while Wales are unbeaten going into the March 12th match.
Tuilagi has scored 11 tries in 25 England appearances but his career has been affected by off-field disciplinary problems, including jumping into Auckland Harbour during the 2011 World Cup.
The Samoa-born 24-year-old was ruled out of the 2015 World Cup after he pleaded guilty to assaulting two female police officers - although he later said he had owned up to what he had not done.
