Hernandez, Contepomi and Leguizamon to miss tour
Argentina has been rocked by news Juan Martin Hernandez and Felipe Contepomi will both miss the three-match tour of Great Britain after being ruled out by injury.
Juan Martin Leguizamon will also sit out the matches against England, Wales and Scotland through injury, with coach Santiago Phelan forced to re-jig his 29-man squad for the tour.
Star fly-half Hernandez has been sidelined with a back injury, while skipper Contepomi and Leguizamon are both struggling with knee problems.
With Contepomi missing, former Sale forward Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe is likely to captain the Pumas.
The squad includes six players from the Premiership, with Leicester Tigers duo Marcos Ayerza and Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino joined by Gonzalo Camacho, Gonzalo Tiesi (both Harlequins), Alfredo Lalanne (London Irish) and Mariano Sambucetti (Bristol).
The Pumas kick-off their tour against England at Twickenham on November 14, before heading to Wales a week later and then to Scotland on November 28.
