In a squad update issued on Tuesday, Connacht ruled out the Australia-born 27-year-old for "approximately five weeks".
Hansen is hoping to be included in Andy Farrell's British and Irish Lions squad when it is unveiled on Thursday.
He has scored 12 tries in 28 caps for Ireland since being handed his debut by Farrell in February 2022.
If selected, Hansen should have recovered in time for the Lions' pre-tour game against Argentina in Dublin on 20 June.
