Scarlets back rower Taine Plumtree has been called up to the Wales squad ahead of their Six Nations clash against Italy.
Plumtree has been summoned after Aaron Wainwright suffered a nasty facial injury during Friday’s 43-0 hammering by France in Paris.
Wales are waiting on the results of a scan on Wainwright, but it is feared the 27-year-old suffered a suspected broken cheekbone in the fourth minute at Stade de France.
Ospreys Centre Owen Watkin continues to be assessed after sustaining a knee injury in Paris.
Sale prop WillGriff John has rejoined the squad in Nice, where Wales are based ahead of their second Six Nations game in Rome.
Wales suffered a 13th successive Test match defeat and record Six Nations loss to France, failing to score in the tournament for the first time since 1998.
