Nigel Davies fears his Scarlets could be forced to play just 14 players in their final European pool games if they suffer another tight-head injury.
The Llanelli region are without three of their front-line tight-head props and have called in academy prop Simon Gardiner into their Heineken Cup squad.
Only one player can be added to the European squad during the pool stages.
The Scarlets are in talks with European Rugby Cup, the Cup organisers, for dispensation to bring in two players.
"We are in negotiation with the ERC as this is a unique set of circumstances," Davies told BBC Sport.
