Llanelli's injury problems are increasing with the news that Scott Quinnell has serious eye problem.
The former Wales captain has been diagnosed as having a hole in his retina and is unlikely to play until the end of March.
That is just days before his side's Heineken Cup quarter-final match against Perpignan on April 11.
Quinnell sustained the injury during his side's Welsh Premiership victory over Cardiff on February 4.
"We don't know the full details, but the hospital has confirmed that Scott has a hole in the retina of his right eye," confirmed Llanelli chief executive Stuart Gallacher.
