(Reuters) - Manu Tuilagi was one of three players returning from injury to boost England ahead of their Six Nations game against Scotland, as head coach Steve Borthwick named a squad of 36 players on Wednesday.

Tuilagi has been out with a groin injury since December, and wasn't named in England's initial Six Nations squad, but the centre now returns along with hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie and lock George Martin.
