Alex Cuthbert has emerged as a significant doubt for Wales’ autumn programme of internationals after the Ospreys revealed he was likely to be sidelined by injury for the next few weeks.
The 52-cap wing has enjoyed a rejuvenation at Test level since returning to Welsh rugby from Exeter Chiefs last year, playing in five Tests and producing one of the finest displays of his career in the Six Nations clash with England.
But he picked up a shoulder injury in the second Test against South Africa in the summer and has yet to start a match this season.
