Wales flanker Ellis Jenkins sidelined following problems with knee surgery

Cardiff director of rugby Dai Young has revealed that flanker Ellis Jenkins has not trained all summer after a knee operation at the end of last season has proven to be a "little problematic."
The 15-cap Wales international missed Cardiff's preseason encounter with Gloucester on Friday night, which the Cherry & Whites won 42-17 at Kingsholm, and WalesOnline have reported the cause for his absence.
The positive news for Jenkins and everyone involved with Cardiff and Wales is that this is not the knee that curtailed so much of his career, and saw him sidelined for 26 months after tearing his ACL against South Africa in November 2018.
"Ellis hasn't trained all summer," Young told WalesOnline. "He picked up a bit of a niggle in his knee. Not the one that he seriously injured, the other one.
"He had a clear out towards the end of last season, nothing serious, and it's been a little bit problematic, to be honest. Nobody is panicking about it but hopefully he's in training next week. That's the reason he didn't play against Gloucester."
Despite the scoreline, Young took positives from his side's loss in what was their first preseason outing of the year.
“We can take a lot of good things from tonight - it was a real worthwhile exercise," Young said to the Cardiff Rugby website. "It was always going to be a big challenge coming here because this was Gloucester’s third pre-season game, their season starts next week and that was not far off their best team.
“Lots of our boys weren't available for tonight's game, but that's a great challenge for the for the youngsters coming through. We had a very young backline first half, but I thought they did really well.
“Nobody wants to lose and nobody wants to rack up big scores but I think we'll take a lot out there tonight and the youngsters will take a lot."

England have absolutely no need for him. Tom Willis and Ben Earl are better with a much higher work rate.
Go to commentsI’m a musician, and not long ago, I was scammed out of $12,000 by a fake music streaming service called Streamify Pro. It’s a story I never thought would happen to me, but it did, and I feel it’s important to share it, especially for other artists in the music industry who might be vulnerable to the same scam. I got an email from what seemed like a legitimate music streaming platform, offering me an opportunity to get my music on a huge new service. They promised high visibility, global exposure, and the chance to generate more revenue from streams. It seemed like a dream come true for an independent musician like me, who is always looking for ways to grow my audience. The email looked official, and they even provided testimonials from artists who’d “made it big” by using their service. They had a polished website with all the right buzzwords, making everything look very convincing. They also gave me a “special deal” on their package, offering me placement on their platform for a fee of $12,000. It was a hefty amount, but I thought it was worth the investment, considering the exposure they promised. I transferred the money, but soon after, things started to feel off. My music was never uploaded to their platform. They stopped responding to my emails, and the phone number they gave me went straight to voicemail. I tried to do some research and found that there were no actual reviews or artists talking about the service online. It hit me hard—I had just lost $12,000.That’s when I reached out to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST. I was feeling desperate and didn’t know what else to do. They were incredibly responsive and understood exactly what I was going through. They launched an investigation into the scam and worked tirelessly to recover the full amount that I had lost. To my amazement, they were able to recover 100% of the $12,000 I had been scammed out of. Since then, I’ve been recommending ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST to other musicians. They did what seemed impossible, and their service was absolutely worth it. If you’re a musician or anyone in the creative industry, be cautious about these types of scams. I learned the hard way, but thanks to ASSET RESCUES SPECIALIST, I got all of my money back.DM FOR MORE DETAILS:mail: assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice.comWhatsApp:+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3.support@assetrescuespecialist.com.
