(Reuters) - England could be bolstered by the return of several players from injury, including centre Manu Tuilagi, for their upcoming Six Nations game at home to Wales, head coach Eddie Jones said.

Veteran centre Tuilagi continued his comeback at the weekend for Premiership club Sale Sharks following a hamstring injury lay-off that forced him to miss England's 20-17 defeat away to Scotland and 33-0 victory away to Italy.
