Underhill started at openside flanker in the 25-17 victory in Brisbane last Saturday in place of Tom Curry, who returned home after suffering a concussion in the 30-28 first Test loss in Perth.
Lock Maro Itoje also suffered a head knock in the Brisbane Test and had already been ruled out of the series decider at Sydney Cricket Ground.Â
England said they would not be replaced.
Wasps flanker Jack Willis is also a doubt after being forced to withdraw from the England replacements in Brisbane because of a rib injury.
Lewis Ludlam came off the bench in the first two tests and looks the most likely starter in the No.7 shirt on Saturday.
