CHIEFS five-eighth Tasesa Lavea will miss the Super 14 rugby season after tearing a foot ligament during a pre-season game against the Highlanders last weekend.
Lavea, 28, will undergo surgery next Tuesday.
Lavea is not expected to put his full weight on the foot for three months after the operation, Chiefs management said.
The Chiefs have not yet decided who will replace Lavea in their squad.
