Former England kit man Dave Tennison is appealing the RFU's decision to sack him after players lost money on his business recommendation.
Tennison was dismissed after some of England's World Cup squad took his advice to invest in oil drilling firm LGO Energy, only for the company to take a dramatic drop in value.
The 55-year-old, who was part of the England staff since 2002, has contested the RFU's decision and the appeal process is ongoing.
England are unlikely to resolve the issue in time for the arrival of new coach Eddie Jones, who is unable to start his job due to delays in acquiring a work visa.
Jones was supposed to begin work in England on Tuesday but has remained in Tokyo as his visa application is yet to be approved.
Jones was appointed Stuart Lancaster's successor on November 20 after leaving the Stormers, where he had only taken charge as head coach in September.
One of his first tasks will be to reunite the England dressing room after their disastrous World Cup campaign was followed by leaks of disharmony, including Tennison's fall from grace.
England will play South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia in next year's autumn internationals as part of the Old Mutual Wealth Series.
Jones will face his native Australia in the final match of the series on Saturday, December 3 while Fiji have also been added to the list.
The Islanders finished fourth in Pool A at this year's World Cup, following defeats to England, Australia and Wales.
World Cup semi-finalists South Africa are England's first autumn opponents on Saturday, November 12 before they play Fiji on Saturday, November 19 and Argentina on Saturday, November 26.
