Wales backs Gareth Anscombe and Owen Watkin are both non-starters for the Ospreys in their United Rugby Championship game against the Lions in Swansea on Saturday evening.
Fellow national-squad tourists Gareth Thomas, Sam Parry and Alex Cuthbert are also on the Llandarcy-based region’s injured list, but Dan Lydiate is available after missing the opening round of URC matches.
Anscombe left the field in the 65h minute of last weekend’s 23-23 encounter against the Scarlets in Llanelli, while Watkin also picked up a head knock. The pair, who both featured for Wales in the Tests against South Africa this summer, have to stand down for a minimum of 12 days post-injury under concussion protocols introduced in June.
