OLLIE Lawrence has been left out of England's 25-man squad for this weekend's Autumn Nations Cup fixture with Wales.
Head coach Eddie Jones has "rested" the Worcester Warriors centre after he picked up a hip issue whilst training this week.
It is not expected to be a serious injury and he remains in the squad for the finals weekend on December 5.
England travel to Llanelli this Saturday knowing a win would see them secure top spot in Group A which would see them contest the final against the team that tops Group B next weekend.
