Olly Morgan and Ben Foden have been given a England call

Martin Johnson has called Ben Foden into his elite squad for the 2009 Six Nations.

Olly Morgan is also included, while the experienced Mike Tindall and Mark Cueto return.

Lewis Moody, back after a long-term ankle injury, is also in the squad.

Olly Barkley, Jordan Crane, Michael Lipman and the injured James Simpson-Daniel, Dan Hipkiss and Peter Richards, are among those that drop out.

They are all included in the second-string Saxons squad, which also features veteran Leicester tight-head prop Julian White, and Northampton fly-half Stephen Myler, a convert from rugby league.

Lock Tom Palmer, who will miss the entire Six Nations, and flanker Tom Rees, who will miss at least three games, are both included, but further players will be summoned as cover.

The versatile Foden, who has switched between full-back and scrum-half in his career with Sale and now Saints, replaces Richards in the elite 32-man party.

The in-form Cueto, who has not played for England since the 2007 World Cup final, replaces Barkley, a surprise demotion.

Delon Armitage, Ugo Monye and Nick Easter, who all played in the autumn Tests but were only in the squad as cover for injured players, are also now officially part of the squad.

Armitage has replaced Josh Lewsey, who retired from international rugby in December, Monye replaces the injury-prone Simpson-Daniel while Easter takes over from Crane.

World Cup winner Tindall, back to form with Gloucester despite a three-year ban for drink-driving, replaces Hipkiss, who has been sidelined with a hamstring problem.

England kick off their Six Nations campaign against Italy at Twickenham on 7 February, and the squad will head to Portugal on 25 January for a week's training as part of their preparations.

The Saxons have two fixtures lined up during the Six Nations period, against Portugal on 30 January and Ireland A on 6 February.

White, who has not been involved with England since making himself unavailable for the 2007 World Cup, replaces injured Bristol prop Jason Hobson in the second-string party.

Worcester's promising young prop Matt Mullan, the in-form Harlequins duo of centre Jordan Turner-Hall and flanker Chris Robshaw, and Wasps hooker Rob Webber, are also included.
