Captain Courtney Lawes has been ruled out of England's match with Argentina at Twickenham on Sunday.
Lawes is still experiencing symptoms after suffering a head injury in September and will not join up with the squad this week.
However, Owen Farrell returns after a concussion sustained for Saracens against Exeter Chiefs on 22 October.
The 31-year-old will continue through the latter stages of the return-to-play process.
Lewis Ludlam has also been ruled out through injury, while winger Jonny May has made a quick recovery from an elbow problem to join the 36-man squad.
The matchday 23 will be announced on Friday.
England's Test against Argentina is their first game of the Autumn Nations Series. They will also play Japan, New Zealand and South Africa.
