Tommy Taylor and Nick Schonert have been ruled out of England's tour of Argentina.
Wasps hooker Taylor picked up a knee ligament injury in training while Worcester prop Schonert has a suspected hand ligament injury, following an earlier hand injury, which required surgery recently.

Schonert's Worcester team-mate Jack Singleton has been recalled back into the squad to replace Taylor while Bristol's Jamal Ford-Robinson will come in for Schonert.
Singleton and Ford-Robinson were involved in England's recent camps in Brighton and Pennyhill Park and both played in Sunday's 28-14 against the Barbarians on Sunday.
Meanwhile, England are still sweating on the fitness of Denny Solomona, who suffered a mid-foot sprain during a recent camp in Brighton.
"At this stage he is fit," Jones said of the Sale Sharks wing, who trained at England's Teddington base on Tuesday. "He is still okay and we are just continuing that process.
"We have got a few days to decide. It is an ongoing process. He got through yesterday very well and we will take it up another step."
England depart for Buenos Aires on Saturday to prepare for two Tests against the Pumas, in San Juan on June 10 and in Santa Fe on June 17.
