Wales have confirmed that Jamie Roberts will miss their Six Nations clash with Italy through injury.

The centre missed the second half of Wales's 19-12 win over England at Twickenham on Saturday with a knee problem.

"We are hopeful that Jamie will be fit for our final game against France," Wales attack coach Rob Howley told the Guardian.

"He was clearly not right after taking a knock and he gave away two penalties for offside, which is not like him."

Wales host Italy on Saturday, March 10 before their final game against France on March 17.
