Northampton have suffered a blow as Alex Waller sustained a broken forearm during last Friday's clash with Newcastle at Franklin's Gardens.
The 27-year-old front-row was withdrawn in the 78th minute and has since undergone surgery and will require eight to ten weeks rehabilitation.
"We are obviously very disappointed to lose Alex," said director of rugby Jim Mallinder when speaking to the Premiership outfit's website.
"His run of consecutive starts in the Aviva Premiership – stretching all the way back to May 2011 – has been remarkable.
"But he's a resilient player and will be working hard to come back stronger for an important period in the new year."
