Toulon scrum-half Sebastien Tillous-Borde has been ruled out of action for two months as he prepares to undergo knee surgery.
Tillous-Borde suffered an injury in Saturday's 19-14 win over Bath in the European Champions Cup.
The 30-year-old's knee sprain will be operated on in the coming days.
The France international joins Matt Giteau (adductor), Leigh Halfpenny (knee), Frederic Michalak (thigh) and Paul O'Connell (thigh) on the sidelines at the Top 14 club.
Tillous-Borde has played 19 times for France but was not included in the 31-man squad ahead of the Six Nations.
Jonathan Pelissie is set to return from a two-month injury lay-off for Toulon and will provide cover for Tillous-Borde.
