Stormers injury update

Manie Libbok, Keke Morabe and Ben-Jason Dixon all travelled back to Cape Town with the DHL Stormers squad on Sunday after leaving the field with injuries in the Investec Champions Cup game against RC Toulon at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.

Libbok (concussion) and Morabe (leg fracture) were both taken to hospital in Gqeberha for observation and returned to the team hotel on Saturday evening.

Morabe will undergo surgery on Monday which will rule him out long-term, while Libbok and Dixon will be reassessed after 12 days as per HIA protocols.

Salmaan Moerat (knee), Sti Sithole (ankle), Frans Malherbe (ankle), Deon Fourie (knee) and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (concussion) are all expected to make their return before the end of the year, while Steven Kitshoff (neck), Evan Roos (shoulder), Dan du Plessis (knee), Ben Loader (knee) and Damian Willemse (groin) all continue their rehab and are scheduled to return to play in the new year.
