Somerville had a plate inserted in the arm during surgery

Gloucester prop Greg Somerville is out for six weeks after he broke his left arm during the Premiership win over Sale Sharks on Saturday.

The 32-year-old tight head was forced off after 50 minutes of the 47-3 win and taken to Gloucester Royal Hospital.

The former All Black had surgery on Saturday evening to have a plate inserted in the arm.

Somerville, who has 66 caps for New Zealand, joined Gloucester on a two-and-a-half-year deal in December 2008.
