Samoan international Tim Nanai-Williams has been ruled out for the entire season with a shoulder injury.
Nanai-Williams is expected to have an operation on his shoulder, the same one which ruled him out of most of last year’s Super Rugby competition.
The Chiefs will also be without Charlie Ngatai for at least two weeks, after their co-captain ruptured his medial ligament in the loss to the Crusaders.
Africa-Football.com also confirmed that Dominic Bird will miss the same length of time with a shoulder injury while All Blacks prop Kane Hames remains sidelined, suffering from a mystery illness.
“It will have an effect no doubt, but I’ve got a lot of confidence in the depth we have, that we can bring others through,” said Chiefs coach Colin Cooper.
