The 24-year-old only managed 11 minutes of the Challenge Cup fixture on Friday night against Gloucester at Kingsholm before leaving the field clutching his shoulder.

Just minutes before Warren Gatland names his Wales squad for the upcoming Championship, Scarlets revealed in a statement that the fly-half will undergo surgery for the injury and is expected to be out of action for 12 weeks.

Their statements read: “Scarlets can confirm that Sam Costelow is set to undergo surgery on the shoulder injury he suffered in Friday’s EPCR Challenge Cup match against Gloucester.

“Sam has a fracture of the collarbone and is likely to be out of action for around 12 weeks.”

Scarlets lost the encounter 31-7, leaving them second-from-bottom in Pool Three in the Challenge Cup ahead of hosting Vannes on Saturday.
