Callum Sheedy: Wales fly-half suffers knee injury ahead of Six Nations
- Published
Callum Sheedy has won 16 caps for Wales since his debut in 2020
Wales fly-half Callum Sheedy's hopes of being named in Warren Gatland's' Six Nations squad have been dealt a blow.
Bristol coach Pat Lam has confirmed the 28-year-old suffered a knee injury during their game against Exeter on 29 December.
"Callum went in to jackal and they cleaned out his knee. He's got a low grade MCL [medial collateral ligament] from that so he's probably out for three or four weeks," Lam said.
Gatland names his squad on Tuesday.
The Wales head coach already has a conundrum over the Wales 10 jersey following the international retirement of Dan Biggar.
Scarlets duo Sam Costelow and Ioan Lloyd are both front runners, while Jarrod Evans is hoping a possible loophole could allow him to continue his international career after moving to Harlequins.
There is still uncertainty over Gareth Anscombe after he had his registration with his new Japanese club cancelled because of a groin injury.
