Scarlets coach Dwayne Peel has ruled out an immediate emergency move for Wales internationals Ashley Beck and Owen Williams to ease the Llanelli club's growing centre crisis.
The Scarlets' midfield cupboard is looking relatively bare at the minute, with Jonathan Davies in effect the only fully fit senior option available to Peel. Johnny Williams, Joe Roberts, Corey Baldwin and Ioan Nicholas are all currently sidelined, while the Scarlets are hopeful that Scott Williams will be fit to return this weekend against Zebre.
To add insult to injury, former club captain Steff Hughes - who was released at the end of last season - has recently joined the Dragons as injury cover just as the Scarlets battle through their own fitness issues.
