Rugby-England suffer more injury problems for Argentina clash

LONDON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - England's injury problems worsened on Tuesday when Bath props David Wilson and David Barnes were ruled out of Saturday's international against Argentina at Twickenham.

Wilson suffered a neck/shoulder injury in the defeat by Australia last Saturday while the uncapped Barnes injured a knee in training on Tuesday. Both were sent back to their club for further medical treatment, the RFU said in a statement.

Eight other players, including Leicester number eight Jordan Crane who also played against Australia, were sent back to their clubs leaving team manager Martin Johnson short of options when he names his side on Wednesday to face the Pumas.

England are already without Andrew Sheridan, Phil Vickery and Julian White after they suffered injuries in the lead-up to England's autumn fixtures.
