England Team Manager Martin Johnson and Elite Rugby Director Rob Andrew today announced the revised England Senior Elite Player Squad (32 players) and the England Saxons Elite Player Squad (32 players).

Now that the January transfer window is in effect, Johnson has been able to call up players into the EPS squads for reasons of form and fitness. Olly Morgan, Mark Cueto, Ben Foden, Mike Tindall and Nick Easter have all been drafted into the Senior England set up, whilst late replacements for the injured Tom Rees and Tom Palmer will be announced in due course.

Gloucester's Olly Morgan has been in fine form this season

Olly Barkley, Jordan Crane, Michael Lipman and the injured James Simpson-Daniel, Dan Hipkiss and Peter Richards, are among those that drop out.

They are all included in the second-string Saxons squad, which also features veteran Leicester tight-head prop Julian White, and Northampton fly-half Stephen Myler, a convert from rugby league.

The versatile Foden, 23, who has switched between full-back and scrum-half in his career with Sale and now Saints, replaces Richards in the elite 32-man party.

"Ben is a very talented and instinctive player, and fantastic athlete," Johnson told BBC Sport.

"We have picked him in one of the nine (scrum-half) positions, but knowing he can fill one of those utility roles, come off the bench into the back three, or start as a nine.

"He is a very exciting player and it is great to have him in the squad."

Cueto has not played for England since the 2007 World Cup final but is a proven finisher with 13 tries in 24 Tests.

After a torrid time with injuries, Mark Cueto looks set to recapture his best form

The Sale wing has scored four in his last three club games, and replaces Gloucester centre Barkley in the squad.

"Mark had real fitness and injury worries for a long time, but he has got over them and is playing well," Johnson added.

"It is good to see him enjoying himself and scoring tries, and it is the same with Mike Tindall. He is in good form as well. The fact they are very experienced is also a big plus for us."
