The Wasps back-row forward begins his comeback from a neck injury in Saturday's Guinness Premiership clash against Bath.

And if he emerges unscathed, then it would be no surprise if Worsley is recalled by England to face Les Bleus in Paris.

Worsley, a replacement in the World Cup final against South Africa four months ago, has played little rugby since that competition ended.

But the 30-year-old offers huge experience to England head coach Brian Ashton, who has seen his team lose at home against Wales and then struggle past Italy in Rome.

Worsley's Wasps team-mate Phil Vickery, meanwhile, is set to return as captain against France after recovering from a stomach bug.

But Bath lock Steve Borthwick, who replaced Vickery as skipper against Italy, is absent because of a knee injury suffered at Stadio Flaminio.

And Leicester flanker Lewis Moody's international season remains on hold while he continues to recover from an Achilles tendon injury that forced him off during the Wales encounter.
