The Highlanders will be without one their stars in upcoming games.

Winger Waisake Naholo is set to miss six weeks with a knee injury, the team announced this afternoon.

The 26-test All Black sustained the injury at training yesterday.

A scan revealed a grade two MCL tear and he is now in a brace.

No replacement has yet been named.

Naholo joins fellow Highlander and All Black halfback Aaron Smith, who sprained his ankle against the Biues late last month and is sidelined for up to six weeks.
