Harlequins wing Cadan Murley has been named in England's 36-strong squad to prepare for Sunday's Test against Japan after scoring two tries in England A’s win over Australia last weekend.

The uncapped 25-year-old comes in after an injury to Elliot Daly. Fellow wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is still recovering from a concussion he sustained in the 42-37 defeat by Australia on 9 November.

However, flanker Tom Curry - who was concussed in the same match - has passed his return-to-play protocol and is in the squad at the expense of Bath's Charlie Ewels.

Both Curry and Feyi-Waboso were absent for the 29-20 loss to South Africa on Saturday.

Sale prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour, who trained with the senior squad last week before dropping back into the second-string set-up and starting for England A against their Australian counterparts, is included once again.

Murley was part of head coach Steve Borthwick's training squad before last year's Rugby World Cup, but failed to make the final cut.

He has impressed on England A duty, also scoring a hat-trick in an emphatic win over Portugal in February.

England have lost all three of their autumn internationals so far, with defeats against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa extending an unwanted streak to five successive matches.

However, England have won all five of their previous meetings with Japan, most recently enjoying a 52-17 victory in Tokyo in June.
