(Reuters) - England lock Maro Itoje could return to the squad for Saturday's Six Nations clash with Wales despite being initially ruled out of the game in Cardiff, defence coach John Mitchell has said.

Itoje sustained a knee ligament injury during England's 32-20 victory over defending champions Ireland in their opener in Dublin and missed the 44-8 win over France.
