Wales hooker Richard Hibbard has been ruled out of Dragons' European Challenge Cup last-16 match with Northampton with a fractured hand.
The 37-year-old was forced off in the victory against Edinburgh at Principality Stadium.
"It's a blow because he has been in great form in recent weeks," said director of rugby Dean Ryan.
Dragons will be boosted by the return of Wales hooker Elliot Dee from the Six Nations winning side.
Hibbard will not require surgery but faces a spell on the sidelines.
He scored a hat-trick from driving lineouts against Connacht and played the full games in the victories against Ospreys and Glasgow.
