His brother Mako Vunipola as well as Nick Isiewke are also set for a spell on the sidelines.
Forward Isiekwe suffered an ankle sprain and is waiting to be assessed by a consultant with regards to the full extent of the injury.
Prop Mako picked up a calf strain and his progress will be monitored, said the club in a statement.
