Cardiff full-back Liam Williams is set to be out until the new year and will miss Wales' autumn internationals after having surgery on his collarbone.
The 31-year-old was one of the club's marquee summer signings and he made a lively start to life at the Arms Park in the opening quarter against Munster on Saturday afternoon. But he then stayed down after being tackled by Calvin Nash and it later transpired that he'd suffered what was initially feared to be a 'significant' injury.
The worst fears of Cardiff boss Dai Young have now been confirmed, with Williams definitely ruled out for three to four months. He will miss Wales' autumn campaign and is a doubt for the Blue and Blacks' festive schedule.
