Sam Jones is facing five months on the sidelines as he recovers from a broken leg sustained during an England training session last week.
Jones, 24, received his first call-up to the England squad by coach Eddie Jones and was in contention to make his Test debut in the Autumn internationals.
However, the Wasps flanker suffered a leg fracture and an ankle injury during a judo session with the national team.
"Unfortunately, as well as breaking his leg he's had a significant ankle injury, which means he's going to be out for around five months, which is obviously a disaster," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said on the club's website.
"The biggest disappointment, without a shadow of a doubt, is for Sam. He's worked his socks off to get into contention for England and we're all frustrated for Sam missing out."
Several players have suffered injuries during England's training sessions in Brighton, leading to questions being raised about the intensity and timing of the camp.
Young steered clear of criticising the methods of the national team coach but said the clubs and England needed to work together.
"I don't think it's my place to vent my frustration or disappointment about anything that went on through the media, I don't think that's the right way to do it," he said.
"The important thing is that we look at it, we review it and we learn from it. England and the clubs can't go head-to-head on this; we have to work together.
"England is not more important than the clubs and the clubs aren't more important than England."
England host South Africa at Twickenham on November 12 before meeting Fiji, Argentina and Australia.
