Marcoussis - Toulouse powerhouse Louis Picamoles on Monday was handed a recall to the France squad to prepare for the Six Nations showdown against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
The 28-year-old back rower won the last of his 44 caps against Australia in June 2014 before missing the build-up to the Six Nations tournament through injury.
Picamoles will take over from Racing-Metro's Wenceslas Lauret who has a thigh injury.
