(Reuters) - Sale Sharks centre Manu Tuilagi has withdrawn from the England squad for the summer series against the United States and Canada due to injury, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Tuesday.

Tuilagi, who was named in coach Eddie Jones's revised 36-man squad on Sunday, picked up the injury in Sale's 40-30 defeat by the Exeter Chiefs in Saturday's Premiership semi-final.
