Alex Dombrandt has been recalled to Steve Borthwick’s initial 36-man England squad for Saturday’s Calcutta Cup match against Scotland at Murrayfield.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Harlequins number eight withdrew from the Six Nations opener with Ireland earlier this month through injury, but returned to club action against Saracens in the Premiership Cup on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Alex Coles and Henry Pollock have also been added to the squad, with Curtis Langdon and Alex Lozowski dropping out. <\/p>\n

Northampton lock Coles played for his club in the Premiership Cup on Friday night after recovering from a wrist injury he picked up in mid-January.<\/p>\n

Tom Curry and George Martin are also back in training after picking up knocks during England’s dramatic 26-25 win over France last weekend.<\/p>\n

Borthwick’s side lost their opening game in the competition 27-22 at reigning champions Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
