Ospreys are set to be without Luke Price until next year after the fly-half broke his leg in their 17-13 victory over Edinburgh last Friday.
Price, 22, was selected ahead of Sam Davies as the Welsh region began life without Dan Biggar, who joined Northampton during the off-season.
But now the youngster is set to miss a significant chunk of the season due to this injury, with Davies poised for plenty of game time at 10.
Allen Clarke’s Ospreys take on the Cheetahs at Liberty Stadium this Saturday as they look to make it two victories out of two in the PRO14.
