Dan Lydiate set to miss Six Nations with bicep injury

Ospreys and Wales flanker Dan Lydiate could miss the Six Nations after suffering a bicep injury.

Lydiate sustained a bicep injury in the first half of Ospreys’ 22-9 victory over the Dragons on Sunday.

Ospreys defence coach Brad Davis said the 30-year-old is "definitely a risk" of missing the Six Nations.

“It’s too early to tell, but there is a risk there, yes," said Davis confirming there was a chance Lydiate could miss the Six Nations.

“I know players before who have had bicep tears and have had operations and been out for 12 to 16 weeks, possibly longer. It really depends on the extent of the injury.

“The best-case scenario is six to eight weeks. The worst case is they have to operate. We’ll know a lot more about that once he has a scan and the medics can plan the way forward.”

Wales begin the 2018 Six Nations against Scotland in Cardiff on Saturday, 3 February.
