Flankers Samipeni Finau and Luke Jacobson are the latest in the All Blacks camp to have their northern tour cut short and will be returning to New Zealand.
An All Blacks spokesperson said Finau will be coming back due to an illness in the family.
Jacobson will return to New Zealand to recover after suffering a head knock during the All Blacks XV's 31-14 win over England A on Sunday.
The Chiefs duo are the latest casualties for the New Zealand camp, which had already lost Jordie Barrett, who suffered a high ankle injury and a minor knee injury in the Test against Ireland.
Christian Lio-Willie, Josh Beehre, and Caleb Tangitau have been called in to the squad from the All Black's XV as training cover.
The All Blacks take on England in their penultimate game of the tour at 4.10am on Sunday. They then take on Wales in the final game the following week.
