Samoan winger Ken Pisi will miss Northampton's clash with Castres in the Heineken Cup after picking up an ankle injury against Exeter.
Pisi was replaced in the 60th minute against the Chiefs after picking up the problem but should only be sidelined for about a week according to Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.
"Ken Pisi is going to be out for a week or so, he's got an ankle injury and hopefully it's not too bad," said Mallinder to the Northampton Chronicle and Echo.
Prop Brian Mujati will be another absentee against the French side, as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury.
"Brian Mujati is still coming back from his calf strain," added Mallinder.
"James Wilson is close, Christian Day is close, James Craig is close.
"That's really positive news so it will be great when we can get them back."

Id hardly describe Cato or Vas as "Solid".
Burrell wouldn't be a bad shout for a winger.

@NHsaints
Your right! My mistake! Ok, not such a big blow then. Who would you have on the wings now then?

@TVaddict you made the same mistake I did reading the title, it's only Ken, not George. If it had been george it would have been a huge blow since we don't really have any top quality 13's to replace him. As it is we have Elliot, Armstrong, Diggins, Cato and co who can play wing for us so we've got no trouble finding a solid replacement for Ken.

A big blow for NH but they should still be very able to win this one well. Castres never seem able to travel. Waldouck moving to 13 and May to 12?
