MARO ITOJE has suffered a broken jaw and could be a doubt for the start of England’s Six Nations campaign.

The England and British and Irish Lions lock was injured in a collision with Mike Brown as Saracens lost out 20-19 to Harlequins in Sunday’s Premiership clash at The Stoop.

Saracens confirmed Itoje has a fractured jaw and the 23-year-old will undergo further testing to determine his recovery period.
