England flanker Chris Robshaw will undergo a scan on Tuesday to determine the extent of a shoulder injury he sustained in Harlequins’ defeat to Worcester.

Robshaw was forced off at half-time in Quins' 24-17 defeat to the Warriors at Sixways and has been unable to take part in Eddie Jones' two-day training camp in Brighton.

Harlequins director of rugby, John Kingston, also lost Robshaw's fellow England international Jack Clifford, Wales centre Jamie Roberts and young lock George Merrick to injury at the break.

"There was enormous amount of disruption for us with a number of our leading players gone by half-time," Kingston said after the game

"Chris should have come off when he had the bang but bravery kept him out there as we were in a mess.

"Jack has concussion, George failed a head injury assessment, so they are both doubtful for next week, while Jamie has a cut leg and aggravated something."
