Toulon second-row Bakkies Botha will be out of action for up to two months after suffering a fractured eye socket during their 62-0 win over Sale Sharks on Saturday.
The 33-year-old, who was forced off before the break in the Heineken Cup clash, will undergo surgery later this week, according to Sky Sports News.
The South African has started 10 of the French outfit's 12 matches this season and recently extended his contact with the club until 2015.
He has made 79 appearances for his country.
