Wales captain Jac Morgan will miss the start of the 2026 Six Nations after dislocating his shoulder in the autumn series opener against Argentina at the start of November.
The 25-year-old flanker has undergone surgery, with Ospreys head coach Mark Jones saying Morgan now faces "four to five months" on the sidelines.
Wales kick-off their campaign away to England on 7 February before home matches against France on 15 February and Scotland a week later.
If his rehabilitation goes well, Morgan could potentially have a chance of returning for the final two games against Ireland on 6 March and Italy on 14 March.
"He's had his operation, it's all gone really well and he's on the road to recovery," said Jones. "He's in that race now to get back as soon as he can.
"It will be four to five months based on what we've heard, but obviously those things can change, we're just working off that at the moment."
