Several England international rugby players will be hoping for recalls to the side after injury.

Head coach Martin Johnson is set to name his 32-man squad for the Six Nations tournament that starts next month and his attacking options have been expanded by the availability of Delon Armitage, Riki Flutey, Toby Flood and Nick Easter.

The four players missed the autumn international matches against touring southern hemisphere sides after picking up a variety of knocks.

Johnson will name his side 13:00 GMT today, revealing whether the players who are now fit have found their way back into the reckoning.

Changes to the squad may be likely after a poor winter in which Argentina was the only visiting side defeated at Twickenham.

Those who have suffered sporting injuries may find ultrasound treatment helps improve matters.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Wales has a series of injury doubts ahead of the tournament.

Stephen Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, James Hook and Martyn Williams are among those whose fitness for the opening game against England at Twickenham are in doubt.
