The Wales number eight recently underwent an operation on the same shoulder he had reconstructed in 2005 and is due to meet with the specialist later on Thursday.

Wales head coach Gareth Jenkins has already confirmed Jones will not be available for the World Cup warm-up international against England on August 4.

That already puts his World Cup place in some jeopardy, given the England game is the one and only opportunity Jenkins has to finalise his tournament squad. The 30-man party is to be named on August 14.

Jenkins said: "The surgeon, Ryan and our medical department meet later today and we will have a better idea of timescales then.

"You want a quality world-class player like Ryan fighting fit and ready to go. There was a concern he was having a niggle and so we took a precaution. It was a necessary procedure. They had to trim parts of the cartilage on his shoulder.

"We are right in what we have done because he has a big career in front of him and it was important that if there was a problem it was identified. England is the last chance to answer questions. After that England game we have to finalise the squad."
