Number eight Vunipola, who featured in every game in England's run to World Cup final last year, was injured during the early stages of Saracens' 27-24 victory, and was withdrawn in the sixth minute at Allianz Park.

"They suspect a broken arm," Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said. "I hope it's not. I don't think it's been confirmed yet."

England head coach Eddie Jones will name his Six Nations squad on Monday and will be monitoring Vunipola, who could be out with a serious arm injury for the fourth time in two years.
