Leicester Tigers will be without their quartet of Tonga internationals for at least two Premiership matches, reports BBC Radio Leicester.
Tigers initially believed that star player Telusa Veainu along with Sione Kalamafoni Valentino Mapapalangi and Afa Pakalani would not be selected for the autumn internationals.
However, they have now been called up for games against Barbarians, Japan and Romania.
The quartet will miss Premiership games against Sale and Worcester, as well as Friday's Anglo-Welsh Cup match at Bath.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
