Marland Yarde remains in contention for an England call-up despite concerns by head coach Eddie Jones that the former Harlequins wing may not be in the right place emotionally to compete for a Test spot after being let go by the Premiership club.

Jones said he would assess Yarde’s state of mind before deciding whether to call up the 25 year-old as a replacement for Jonny May, who is a fitness doubt ahead of the Argentina Test after straining his hamstring during the warm-weather training camp in Vilamoura.

England are already without Elliot Daly and Jack Nowell for the autumn Test campaign because of injury, which has prompted Jones to add Bath wing Semesa Rokoduguni to his squad before May’s setback.

Yarde joined Sale Sharks this week after being dismissed by Harlequins following a number of time-keeping issues, having missed training on three occasions this year.

Jones declared that he would not tolerate similar behaviour in his England squad but said that the disciplinary cloud at Harlequins would not affect his decision of whether or not to hand a call-up to Yarde.

Chris Robshaw, the former England captain and erstwhile club team-mate of Yarde said that Harlequins were “better off without him” after he had “run out of lives”.
