Clark and Johnson are doubts for England's Six Nations opener.

Stuart Lancaster's men kick off their campaign against Scotland at Twickenham on 2 February.

Monye has been drafted in as cover while England's medical team assess players who featured in the Heineken Cup this weekend.

Gloucester and England fly-half Freddie Burns is to have a scan on the knee injury he suffered in their Challenge Cup win over Mont de Marsan.
