Jan Serfontein in doubt for June Tests

Springbok and Montpellier centre Jan Serfontein could miss the Springboks’ four Tests against England in June.

Serfontein was ruled out of Montpellier’s Top 14 clash against Pau this weekend due to a mysterious and rare outgrowth on his thigh, according to Rapport newspaper.

He is currently getting medical advice on whether he needs to undergo surgery or radiation to have the outgrowth removed. The condition could keep Serfontein sidelined for up to six weeks until 10 June, depending on which form of treatment he decides to have.

Serfontein was a regular starter for South Africa during the Rugby Championship and June Internationals before requesting not to be considered for the November tests so he can settle in, in France.
