Wales prop Rhodri Jones could miss the Six Nations after he was injured playing for Scarlets at the weekend.
Jones suffered a dislocated shoulder during a 22-10 west Wales derby win over the Ospreys in the Guinness PRO12 on Saturday.
The 23-year-old, who has played 13 times for his country, provided cover from the bench during the recent autumn Test series for his Scarlets team-mate Samson Lee.
Jones recently signed a national dual contract and has become key to Wales head coach Warren Gatland’s plans.
Jones will see a specialist and if he is ruled out long-term, Adam Jones could earn a Wales squad recall after he was overlooked in November.
Meanwhile, Rhodri Jones' Scarlets front-row colleague Kirby Myhill suffered a suspected pectoral muscle tear during the Ospreys game.
"Scarlets can confirm that tighthead prop Rhodri Jones sustained a dislocated right shoulder, which was relocated while on the field, and was sent for preliminary imaging on Saturday evening," the Scarlets said in a statement.
"Hooker Myhil has a suspected pec tear and has undergone initial imaging on his right shoulder.
"Both Jones and Myhill will meet with consultant specialists today to discuss the prognosis and to put a rehabilitation plan in place."
