Leicester Tigers quartet George Ford, Ellis Genge, Joe Heyes and Ben Youngs have been included in a 32-man England Rugby squad for the return to Twickenham against the Barbarians.
After being assessed by the England medical team, Ford has withdrawn from the squad with an achilles complaint.
The four Tigers have been involved in both of England's training camps since the regular season ended a fortnight ago.
Speaking about the inclusion of the Leicester players, Tigers Director of Rugby Geordan Murphy said: "We are always proud to see our players representing the club on the big stage."
"Whenever a Tigers player is included in an international squad or camp, they are representing each of their team-mates, as well as all of the staff and supporters and our Leicester community.
"These four lads are no different and we are all very proud of them and wish them all the best this week ahead of hopefully playing a part in the game against the Barbarians this weekend."
Murphy also added a special message to Tigers academy graduate Heyes, who is in line for his first appearance for the national side.
"Joe has continued to improve and worked hard to be where he is, this is a just reward for his efforts," said Murphy.
"To see another local lad, who made his way up through the ranks of the club, making the next step in his career is an achievement we can all share in with Joe ... it's fantastic to see and he will only benefit from having been a part of the training camps in recent weeks and this week, preparing for a match under Eddie [Jones] and alongside internationals."
