Ospreys captain Alun-Wyn Jones will be out for up to four months due to a shoulder injury sustained in Wales' loss to Argentina in Cardiff last week.
After carefully reviewing the scans and discussing the best management of the shoulder injury with specialists, in light of the extent of the ligament damage, the recommendation was made for the 27-year-old to undergo surgery to reconstruct the AC joint ligaments in order to give him the best chance of making a full recovery.
Ospreys head physio Chris Towers confirmed that he will be out for a lengthy period.
"He is due to undergo the surgery at the end of this week, and we will be looking at a 12-16 week rehab process post-op to get him back on the field."
