Speaking to BBC Radio Gloucestershire before both players had been for scans, director of rugby George Skivington said: “I don’t think either look exactly positive.”<\/p>\n

“[It was] fairly innocuous for Max but a decent enough bang, we just hope it’s on the lesser side of it than too serious.<\/p>\n

“But I think both of those are going to be a potentially decent enough rehab period.”<\/p>\n

Llewellyn played in three of Wales’ four internationals last month but now joins captain Jac Morgan<\/a> on the sidelines ahead of the Six Nations in eight weeks.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old missed two matches earlier in the campaign for Gloucester but Skivington said this was a new injury. <\/p>\n

Versatile Joseph has played in all six of Gloucester’s Prem fixtures since signing this summer and started on the wing for their latest European match.<\/p>\n

“[He] got his ankle caught between a couple of bodies. He’s non-weight bearing at the moment. The fact he’s on crutches probably isn’t a great sign,” Skivington added.<\/p>\n

Gloucester are back in European action on Saturday with a trip to Munster before returning to the Prem on 19 December – away at Leicester – followed by a home fixture with Saracens on 27 December.<\/p>\n

The Cherry and Whites do however have vice-captain Arthur Clark and Jack Clement available for the first time since the opening match of the season in a boost to their forward pack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
