Connacht have given an update on their injury list with Quinn Roux, set to be out for up to 3 months as he undergoes surgery on an ongoing shoulder issue.
The Westeners hope to have the South African back by May.
Conor Dean is also dealing with a shoulder injury sustained in the Eagles game last Friday and it will be reviewed later this week.
Sean O'Brien also picked a knock up in the Eagles encounter with a neck injury been managed.
While it is also surgery for Peter Robb on an abdominal injury he sustained in the Dragons game with is time out of action to be confirmed post surgery.
Sam Arnold (chest), Tom Farrell (knee), Stephen Fitzgerald (knee) and Cillian Gallagher (shoulder) are all continuing their rehabilitation from long term injuries.
