WALES international Dillon Lewis has confirmed he has torn his calf and is expected to be on the sidelines for some time.

The Dragons man picked up the injury in the pulsating 19-19 Welsh derby draw with the Ospreys last weekend.

Lewis was a second-half substitute but lasted less than 20 minutes after pulling up injured.

In a video post on Instagram, he said: “Bad news, boys. We're back in rehab. Tore my calf on Saturday. Had the scan yesterday [Monday]. Results this morning. Seeing the physios. It’s going to be a while.”

Whether or not the prop plays any part this autumn, Wales head coach Steve Tandy is confident his side have the forward power to compete with the likes of Argentina and South Africa this autumn.
