WillGriff John has been called up to Wales' Six Nations squad after Dillon Lewis was released because of injury.
Lewis, who is yet to feature in the tournament, has returned to Cardiff Blues after suffering a neck problem that prevents him taking any further part.
John, who is leaving Sale Sharks for the Scarlets next season, will link up with the squad after this weekend's English Premiership matches.
The tighthead is yet to play for Wales after last year's Six Nations finale against Scotland, for which he was named in the starting line-up, was postponed. He has since failed to win back his place in the squad.
John has been named on the bench for Sale's match against Harlequins on Saturday.
Lewis is the third player to officially leave the squad, following Dan Lydiate and Josh Macleod's departures.
