Veteran France prop Thomas Domingo on Monday replaced the injured Eddy Ben Arous in the squad for their final Six Nations match with England this Saturday, the coaching staff announced.
The 29-year-old Domingo, capped 36 times, earns his first call-up since the disappointing tour of Australia last June and comes after the medical staff judged 24-year-old Ben Arous' arm injury he suffered in Sunday's 29-0 win over Italy would heal in time.
Earlier on Monday embattled head coach Philippe Saint-Andre had called up to the training squad Toulouse No8 Louis Picamoles, who has not featured in this Six Nations campaign because of injury.
The French win in Rome kept alive their hopes of sneaking an unlikely win in the Six Nations this year, but their last win at Twickenham dates back to 2007.
They are presently fourth in the table, two points adrift of England, defending champions Ireland -- who travel to bottom side Scotland -- and Wales, who play Italy.
