Chiefs lock Brodie Retallick has broken his ribs and will miss up to six weeks of Super Rugby.

Retallick left the field early in the second half during the Chiefs' 36-32 loss to the Lions on Saturday. 

The injury will see the All Black miss the franchise's two-match tour to play the Kings and Jaguares.

The Chiefs have named a 27-man squad, with Stephan Donald included despite not having game time so far this season. 

Winger Shaun Stevenson is also still unavailable after injuring his shoulder against the Crusaders in the opening week of Super Rugby, and hooker Hika Elliot is still suffering from concussion symptoms.
