Scarlets and Wales prop Samson Lee has flown back from South Africa early after rupturing his Achilles tendon in training.
The 29-year-old, who has won 45 caps since making his international debut in 2013, will now meet with a specialist to establish a management plan for the injury. Javan Sebastian has joined up with the Scarlets squad in Pretoria ahead of Friday's match with the Bulls.
The injury comes as a massive blow for Lee, who had been enjoying a solid season at Parc y Scarlets. However, with a ruptured Achilles tendon taking around four to six months to heal, his campaign is almost certainly over now.
