BATH'S Beno Obano has suffered another injury setback, just as he was poised to reignite his England prospects.
Obano has sustained a knee problem at the training camp held in Brighton this week to prepare for the visit of the Barbarians to Twickenham on May 27.
The Bath prop would have been selected in Eddie Jones' squad for the recent NatWest 6 Nations but for an injury to the same joint in January.
"Beno Obano has suspected ligament damage in his left knee. He will return to his club Bath for scans and further assessment," a Rugby Football Union statement read.
