Manu Tuilagi: Centre to stay with England squad after groin injury sustained in Paris

Manu Tuilagi left the field injured in the 16th minute of England's loss to France

England centre Manu Tuilagi, who sustained a groin injury in England's defeat by France, will remain with the squad as they prepare for Saturday's Six Nations game against Scotland.

The 28-year-old is having medical checks after being replaced in the 16th minute of England's loss on Sunday.

There will be an update on his injury on Tuesday.

Head coach Eddie Jones has retained the same 35-man squad that gathered before England's game in Paris.

Leicester centre Tuilagi had played one match in six weeks before the Six Nations because of another groin issue.

Anthony Watson, who was ruled out of the game in Paris with a calf injury, is also named in Jones' squad.

Given that Jones has not deviated from his original Six Nations squad, England remain without a specialist number eight after Billy Vunipola broke his arm.

The England coach will name his team to face Scotland at 10:30 GMT on Thursday.
