Leicester's Tongan No 8 Opeti Fonua has suffered a broken arm and will be out of action for up to two months.

Fonua, who joined the Tigers from London Welsh in the summer, was hurt during last weekend's victory over Wasps.

Director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "There is bad news in that Opeti Fonua broke his arm tackling.
