Billy Vunipola could be fit for England's clash with Fiji at Twickenham this weekend after taking part in training on Tuesday.
The No 8 had been considered a doubt for Saturday's second autumn international, live on Sky Sports 2, but has progressed quicker than expected from his upper-body injury.
World player of the year nominee Vunipola, who forced Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth to withdraw from England's 37-21 victory over South Africa following a clash of heads, had not been expected to join in on Monday or Tuesday but has now returned to training.
Fiji-born Nathan Hughes, who made his England debut off the bench on Saturday, has a lower leg injury and did not train on Tuesday but is expected to train on Thursday and be fit for the game.
Alex Goode wore the full back shirt as the England squad trained and could be in line for a start ahead of Mike Brown, who trained inside with wing Jonny May although both players are fit.
Jonathan Joseph wore 13 for the side which looked like it contained the starters as Elliot Daly, who was out on the field, sported a non-contact yellow bib. Semesa Rokoduguni wore 14 and could be set to replace Marland Yarde on the wing.
