Last weekend's Gallagher Premiership defeat at Harlequins took a heavy toll on Leicester Tigers' squad.

Fortunately, they have a blank weekend before heading into the final match of their season, at home to Bath in the Gallagher Premiership.

Had Tigers been preparing for action this weekend, head coach would definitely have been without winger Jordan Olowofela, while Mike Williams, Guy Thompson and Telusa Veainu would all have been rated as doubts with head injuries.

Latest from Welford Road

"Jordan dislocated his shoulder and it was out of place for quite a while so he has had that put back into place," Murphy said. "He will see a specialist this week but effectively that's his season done. Most probably he will have to have an operation to tidy that up and we will see him next season."

Flankers Thompson and Williams were ruled out with head knocks received during the first-half at Twickenham Stoop. Veainu also went off for a head injury assessment just before half-time, but was passed fit to continue playing.

However, Murphy said: "Guy Thompson, Mike Williams and Telusa Veainu all failed post-game HIA's which sometimes happens.

"All three of those will stand down this week. They will see a neurosurgeon just to make sure they are OK. They will start the return-to-play protocol Wednesday or Thursday depending on where they are on those tests.

"Hopefully if we get them back we will include them in the squad for next week."

Meanwhile the Tigers boss feels the signings of Charlie Clare, Nephi Leatigaga and Tomas Lavanini, which were announced on Monday, will help bolster the depth of his squad next season.

He added that the task the Leicester coaches face is to make sure the players fulfill the potential they all have and make a mark on the Premiership.

"The guys that we are bringing in will hopefully add a huge amount of strength and depth to our squad," Murphy said. "That is where we are at. We needed to fill some holes on the back of some guys leaving and the players coming in will be good additions for us.

"We are very lucky with some of the guys we had this season. We just wanted to support them and sign players who we hope will have an impact on the Premiership.

"It is an incredibly difficult competition. Some of the guys coming in have no experience of the Premiership so it will be a steep learning curve for them but we will assist them to try and get the very best out of them."
