Solomona, who has scored 11 tries in 15 matches for Premiership side Sale Sharks since December, received his first England call-up when Jones announced his squad in April.

"He's got a mid-foot strain. It puts him in doubt [for Argentina), Jones told British media. "He's going to see a specialist and we'll know definitely then. We're not hopeful, we believe it'll be pretty doubtful that he goes on tour."
