England have called up Henry Pollock to a three-day training camp while Tom Curry recuperates following the first two Six Nations matches.

The 20-year-old, who has featured in both of England's wins at the Under-20s Six Nations, has enjoyed a breakout season with Northampton, following an impressive showing for England in the Under-20s' World Cup triumph last July.

Pollock, along with Bath's Ted Hill, are providing the back row cover during the camp, which starts on Wednesday.

Curry played the entirety of England's first two games at the tournament, helping them bounce back from defeat to Ireland with a dramatic 26-25 victory over France on Saturday.

However, after having hip surgery last year, he is now recuperating ahead of their third game, which will see them face Scotland on February 22, alongside George Martin.

Both Curry and Martin are reportedly expected back in full training next week ahead of that match.

Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is also continuing his recovery during the training camp, as he aims to be in contention for the latter stages of the Six Nations, having opted not to undergo surgery after dislocating his shoulder before Christmas.

England are aiming to build on their victory over France, but have lost each of their last four matches against Scotland.

England squad for training camp:

Forwards: Fin Baxter, Ollie Chessum, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Chandler Cunningham-South, Ben Curry, Theo Dan, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, Jamie George, Joe Heyes, Ted Hill, Maro Itoje, Henry Pollock, Will Stuart, Tom Willis

Backs: Oscar Beard, Elliot Daly, George Ford, Tommy Freeman, Ollie Lawrence, Alex Mitchell, Harry Randall, Tom Roebuck, Henry Slade, Ollie Sleightholme, Fin Smith, Marcus Smith, Freddie Steward

Rehabilitation: Tom Curry, George Martin, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso
