(Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones is set to recall Owen Farrell and Maro Itoje to face Australia after they were included in the initial 25-man squad on Tuesday.
Farrell and Itoje were both rested for England's underwhelming 21-8 victory over Argentina last weekend as part of Jones's long-term plan to ease the workload of some of his players who are also British and Irish Lions.
George Kruis, who started against Argentina, as well as Ellis Genge and Alex Lozowski, both of whom came on as substitutes, are among nine players to return to their Premiership clubs.
Loosehead prop Joe Marler returns from suspension, while winger Jonny May continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
England are looking for a fifth consecutive win against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday.
