Ulster second row Lewis Stevenson has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a knee injury picked up in Friday's win over Edinburgh.
Stevenson is expected to be out for at least a month after damaging his medial knee ligaments in the 45-20 victory, leaving Ulster with only one fit second row in Neil McComb.
Johann Muller remains sidelined by a thumb injury whilst Dan Tuohy and Iain Henderson are currently training with Ireland.
Ulster hope that Stevenson will be fit again for their double header against Northampton Saints in the Heineken Cup, but he will definitely miss the upcoming RaboDirect Pro12 games against Zebre, Treviso and the Scarlets.

big blow at the minute owing to injury and international call ups, especially as tuohy will probably be sitting on a bench for three weeks,iain henderson is a player with huge potential, but hasn't the bulk yet for 2nd row
