A few time Cardiff prop has been scramble with a toe injury and the decision has been made for the 30-year-old to pass surgery, sidelining him for more than two months.
In currently seasons the two-time Lions has been injury dogged to due and they missed of previous year's Six Nations with a calf problem.
Reported by Cardiff Blues who director of rugby Dai Young: "Gethin went to see the specialist late last week and the recommendation was to have an operation on his toe. The toe has caused him a problem for about 12 months now so he's booked in to have an operation on Wednesday that would mean he's out from 10 to 12 weeks, which will mean he will miss the Six Nations, which is a big blow for Wales and for us".
He also said, "The hope was that with reduced training and with rest the toe would heal itself. They've gone down every path because Gethin wanted to avoid the operation if he could but it's at the stage now where the only option was to operate. The toe injury has affected his calf and Gethin feels he hasn't played the way he'd like to because he hasn't done the fitness training that he normally does."
