It is the second time in the space of six days that injury has prevented the 27-year-old from making his England debut.
McConnochie was due to play in the opening fixture of the build-up to Japan 2019 against Warren Gatland's men last weekend but was withdrawn due to a hip problem.
The Bath wing is a sevens specialist who won a silver medal with Great Britain at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
