England 's plans for the Calcutta Cup showdown with Scotland have been undermined by yet another midfield injury – as Brad Barritt limped out of Saracens ’ win at Wasps on Sunday . In the 58th minute of the Aviva Premiership encounter , the 28-year-old was contesting a high kick but landed awkwardly and his right leg bent backwards as home fly-half Andy Goode landed on it . He was treated on the field before being helped off . Initial indications were that Barritt had suffered a medial ligament strain in his knee , but that early prognosis soon changed . Brad Barritt , hopeful of an England return against Scotland , limped out of Saracens ’ win at Wasps on Sunday . Barritt 's injury after Andy Goode landed on his leg initially seemed to be to his knee , but was to his ankle . After his side ’ s 26-17 comeback win , Saracens ’ director of rugby , Mark McCall , said : ‘ It seems to be his ankle . The knee seems to be okay . We ’ re all hopeful it won ’ t be too serious . 'It didn ’ t look very good and Brad has been unlucky this season . I ’ m sure he ’ ll be close to selection for England next weekend , so fingers crossed it ’ s not as bad as it looked. ’ Barritt was due to join up with the rest of the England squad at their Surrey HQ on Sunday night and he will face urgent medical assessments on Monday , as the coaches wait to discover if he will be available for Saturday ’ s RBS Six Nations clash with the Scots at Twickenham . With Luther Burrell of Northampton unable to train last week due to a calf strain , Barritt was seemingly destined for a recall at inside centre , but now his hopes hang in the balance . Saracens ’ director of rugby Mark McCall is hoping Barritt 's injury is n't as bad as it looked . Barritt ( obscured by Goode ) was penalised for this challenge on Goode in the air that caused the injury . Barritt was due for a recall to the England side as Northampton 's Luther Burrell struggles with a calf strain . The Saracen was an heroic mainstay of England ’ s autumn victory over Australia in his last Test appearance , but a calf injury in that game kept him out for a month , then he damaged knee ligaments in his clubs ’ European Champions Cup tie against Clermont Auvergne in France . That untimely setback meant Barritt was unable to retain the national No 12 shirt , as he surely would have done if he had come through that pre-championship weekend unscathed . Stuart Lancaster , England ’ s head coach , will hope that if Barritt isn ’ t cleared for a return against Scotland , Burrell does recover in time . The alternative option would be to pick Billy Twelvetrees at inside centre , but the Gloucester captain ’ s form has been alarmingly inconsistent this season . If Barritt is fit to play , he is set to rejoin the back line along with Harlequins full-back Mike Brown – despite Alex Goode ’ s superb efforts at No 10 for Saracens yesterday . Up front , Northampton lock Courtney Lawes is expected to come into the second row in place of George Kruis . England coach Stuart Lancaster 's plans for Saturday 's Calcutta Cup clash may have to be rethought . Barritt , here tackling Wasps ' Nathan Hughes , will undergo urgent medical examinations on Monday . Unlucky Barritt has recently recovered from calf and knee ligament injuries before the most recent blow .
