Loading player...
The Springboks have potentially been dealt a major blow ahead of the season-ending end of year tour to Europe.
The world champions may be without the services of the flyhalf Handré Pollard and Lukhanyo Am for the remainder of the year.
The pair both sustained knee injuries during their 25-17 defeat to the Wallabies on 27 August.
The Boks camp has been tight-lipped about the status of their injuries until the coach, Jacques Nienaber, confirmed that will be side-lined for a lengthy period.
The two players were released to their respective clubs and franchises while still in Australia. Am underwent surgery to his knee, while the status of Pollard’s injury is unknown.
Nienaber said he can guarantee the pair will be fit for the end of year tour.
