Haskell was suspended for four weeks following a high tackle in a match for Wasps against Harlequins, while Marler was given a six-week ban for striking with the shoulder in an illegal clear out playing for Harlequins against Sale Sharks.
England under-20 wing Gabriel Ibitoye has been named as an 'apprentice' in the squad which means he gets the experience of being involved in training and preparation for the match.
England opened their Six Nations campaign with victories over Italy and Wales. They will play Scotland at Murrayfield where they last lost 10 years ago.
