Itoje eyes return before Six Nations
England forward Maro Itoje will be fit for the start of the Six Nations despite suffering a fractured jaw.
There were concerns that Itoje could miss the majority of the tournament after a collision with England team-mate Mike Brown during Saracens' derby loss to Harlequins on 4 December.
The British and Irish Lion underwent surgery on Sunday, but could yet feature for European champion Sarries before England faces Italy in Rome on 5 February.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "Maro is probably three or four weeks away.
"He went to see the specialist who said a maximum of six weeks and he's already done a week and a half."
The versatile Itoje has established himself as a key player for England under Eddie Jones after making his debut against Italy in February 2016.
