Daly, May make England's Argentina squad
Nov 7, 2017 - 9:52 PM England wingers Elliot Daly and Jonny May have been retained despite fitness doubts ahead of Saturday's rugby Test against Argentina with the list whittled down to 26 players.The pair's inclusion by coach Eddie Jones means there is no place for Sale wing Denny Solomona, who was among seven players released back to their clubs.
May, who has been in sparkling form for Leicester with 10 tries in nine games, had been doubtful for the first November Test after suffering a hamstring injury at last week's England training camp in Portugal.
Daly was added to the squad after making a quicker-than-expected return from a knee injury.
The 25-year-old missed the Portugal camp after suffering the injury in Wasps' Champions Cup win over Harlequins last month and was initially ruled out for three weeks.
Solomona's return to the England fold was short-lived. He was brought back for the camp in Portugal after being given a second chance by Jones.
Solomona, along with centre Manu Tuilagi, was banished from a training camp in August due to what England Rugby termed "team culture issues". Media reports suggested they'd indulged in a drunken night out.
After playing Argentina, England face Australia and Samoa over the following two weekends.
England:
Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Jonny May (Leicester Tigers), Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby), Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby), Danny Care (Harlequins), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Leicester Tigers), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Alex Lozowski (Saracens), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
