Scarlets have confirmed that flanker James Davies will undergo surgery on his shoulder tomorrow, Friday 8th September.
The surgery is to repair damage sustained to his shoulder last season and will keep him sidelined for twelve weeks.
Despite initially trailing a period of rehabilitation the injury hasn't improved to the level required to function and cope with the demands of competition and therefore requires Davies to go under the knife.
Davies was a stand-out performer in the Scarlets 2016-17 Pro12 winning campaign. He ended the season with the most turnovers in the league, averaging 1.7 a game.
