Daly has scored three tries in his 13 appearances for England

Lions winger Elliot Daly has recovered from injury and has rejoined the England squad for the autumn Tests.

The 25-year-old Wasp withdrew from last week's training camp in Portugal because of knee trouble.

England's forwards will train against Wales in Bristol on Monday before travelling back to Pennyhill Park for preparation with the rest of the squad.

England play Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday and host Australia and Samoa there over the following two Saturdays.

Fly-half Marcus Smith, named as an apprentice by head coach Eddie Jones, will continue treatment with Harlequins this week after he sprained his foot in Portugal.

Tom Dunn (Bath), Nick Isiekwe (Saracens), Zach Mercer (Bath) and Sam Simmonds (Exeter Chiefs) will remain at Pennyhill Park on a separate training schedule on Monday while the rest of the forwards train against Wales.

Despite originally being ruled out for up to three weeks, it is understood England have not given up hope of Daly being available for Saturday's match with the Pumas.

England will also monitor the fitness this week of fellow wing Jonny May, who suffered a hamstring strain in training last week.
