New Zealand and Highlanders winger Waisake Naholo will miss the next six weeks of action after suffering a medial collateral ligament injury in training.
Naholo has featured in all of the Highlanders’ six Super Rugby matches this season – scoring one try – but he is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The All Blacks winger damaged his knee during a training session on Monday, with scans showing a grade two injury.
Naholo’s rehabilitation has already begun with the 27-year-old wearing a brace to protect his knee.
