Centre Henry Slade and flanker Tom Curry have returned from injury to join England's 36-man squad for the autumn internationals; however, first-choice scrum-half Alex Mitchell is sidelined due to a neck issue.
Slade underwent shoulder surgery following the summer tour to New Zealand and has yet to feature for Exeter this season, while Curry, from Sale, made his comeback from a concussion in Friday's victory against Newcastle.
With Mitchell unavailable, the scrum-half positions will be filled by Ben Spencer, Jack van Poortvliet, and Harry Randall.
