However, according to Rossouw he will be sidelined for at least three to four weeks.

Apart from Kriel lock Jason Jenkins is still sidelined with a knee injury (he will be sidelined for another three to four weeks) and wing Jade Stiglingh (ankle injury) is out for the remainder of the season.

The good news is that the Dries Swanepoel, Travis Ismaiel, Nick de Jager and Roelof Smith have all returned to training this week.
