Rugby: Juan Martin Hernandez will miss Argentina's November series after failing to recover from a hamstring injury.
Hernandez, who plays for French club Racing Metro, has pulled out of the tests against Italy in Verona next Saturday, France in Montpellier a week later and Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on November 28th.
Felipe Contepomi of Toulon is likely to stand in at outhalf for the Pumas in the three tests.
Also missing from the Pumas squad, now down to 30 players, is flanker Juan Manuel Leguizamon of Stade Francais, who is serving an 80-day French league suspension for striking an opponent.
