Ellis Jenkins suffers another injury setback

Ellis Jenkins has suffered another injury blow having returned from a serious knee injury earlier this year after two years out of the game.

The 28-year-old was set to make his return to test rugby during Wales' Summer Series however, another knee injury is set to delay his hopes of a Test return

The Cardiff Blues flanker is now set to miss the rest of the season and Wales' summer games after picking up another knee injury.

He returned to action in February after more than two years out and has played four competitive games for Cardiff before being sidelined again with a concern with his other knee.

"He is probably not going to play this season, I can't see him figuring in the summer games," said Cardiff Blues director of rugby Dai Young.

"He has a bit of a knee concern," added Young.

"It is not the bad knee, that is perfect, it's the other knee and he has been struggling with it. 

"It is minor which we don't need to worry about and he will just rehab it and hopefully come through the next few weeks.

We are pleased where he is and he came back and played a number of games. The important thing for Ellis is to have a good pre-season and recondition and come back stronger.

"We would not risk him. He has proved to himself and everybody else he is back on the field.

"When you have been out for two years he is going to pick up niggles.
