England could be boosted by the return of several injured players, including center Manu Tuilagi, for their next Six Nations game against Wales, manager Eddie Jones has said.
The XV de la Rose coach is also optimistic about the return of Courtney Lawes, recovered from his concussion.
Lewis Ludlam is expected to return from a rib injury and Joe Launchbury is reportedly ready after a lengthy knee injury.
“
We will potentially have Launchbury, Tuilagi, Lawes and Ludlam, so there are a few who could come back to the team
,” Eddie Jones told British media on Monday.
"
If Manu is in good shape... I'm going to talk to Alex Sanderson (Sharks manager, editor's note) and Manu to see where they are and if he has enough gas in the tank to make the move
," added Jones.
