The Wasps back row’s left leg was jarred when Sebastian Negri pulled him out of a ruck during the dominant win over Italy last weekend.
A statement read: “England have reconvened at their training base, The Lensbury, as they prepare for the next round of the Guinness Six Nations.
“George Martin has been called up to the 28-player squad, with Jack Willis ruled out of the tournament after suffering a knee injury in last weekend’s win over Italy.”
Wasps head coach Lee Blackett confirmed the injury is “pretty significant”.
“We will know a lot more when he sees the specialist and it settles down. I can’t tell you exactly how long [he will be out],” Blackett added.
