Cadan Murley is a major doubt for England's Six Nations showdown with France after picking up a foot injury in Dublin.
The Harlequins speedster made his Test debut in the 27-22 defeat to Ireland, crossing for a try but also enduring a tough defensive night.
Steve Borthwick's side had shown promise early on, leading at half-time, but a second-half collapse saw them suffer their seventh defeat in nine matches.
Murley was absent from training on Monday morning, casting serious doubt over his availability for England's return to Twickenham.
His absence would force Borthwick into a back-three reshuffle, with Ollie Sleightholme, Tom Roebuck, and Elliot Daly all in contention to step in.

Four players Wales must drop – and who should replace them
With Warren Gatland's team completely outclassed in Paris, questions are already being asked about his selections. Here are four players who should be axed ahead of Wales’ next match.
Ben Thomas
Rugby Pass 5/10: “Cannot be faulted for trying to play with width, but he was not without errors in doing so and a few poor decisions- particularly a strange first-half chip when Wales were in a promising position. Looked more comfortable when shifting to inside centre, where he proved to be slightly more threatening when attacking the line.”
Wales Online 5/10: “Showed glimpses of his attacking threat in the first-half with a couple of half-breaks while his kicking out of hand was decent. But Wales’ attack ran out of ideas in the second-half, albeit behind a beaten pack.”
Planet Rugby 5/10: “You can see the potential but once again it was a mixed bag from the playmaker. There were a few good moments early on but he became ragged and took some poor decisions as Wales unravelled in the Six Nations opener, despite getting more playmaking support when Dan Edwards came on for Watkin in the first half.”
Replacement: Dan Edwards
