Four players have withdrawn with injuries from the England squad to face the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday. Wings Michael Stephenson (Newcastle) and Dan Luger (Harlequins), Leeds flanker Dan Hyde and Bristol prop Andrew Sheridan did not report to the squad's hotel after consultation with England doctor Simon Kemp.
