Scotland lock Grant Gilchrist is likely to miss the remainder of the campaign after he suffered yet another injury blow.
The Edinburgh second-rower fractured his forearm after he came on as a second-half substitute away to Ospreys last Friday night.
It is a major setback for the 25-year-old, who was making his comeback in Swansea four months after suffering a groin injury during last year's World Cup.
Gilchrist, who had been expected to be recalled to Vern Cotter's squad for the final stages of the Six Nations, also spent eight months out of action before the World Cup after suffering complications to a broken arm.
A spokesman for his club said: "Edinburgh Rugby is disappointed to report that lock Grant Glichrist sustained a fracture to a long bone in his forearm during a collision in Friday night's Guinness PRO12 match against Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium.
"Gilchrist has seen a specialist and will undergo surgery today.
"The injury sustained is not to the same bone that required medical attention prior to Rugby World Cup 2015."
The 6ft 7ins forward had been tipped for a move to French giants Toulon this summer.
The lock was also due to skipper Scotland during the 2014 autumn Tests before being ruled out when he suffered his first broken arm in a European Challenge Cup tie with Lyon.
