Stormers' Cobus Reinach Sidelined With Knee Injury Pending Scan

The URC leaders must reshuffle at scrumhalf until imaging sets a timeline.

Overview

  • Cobus Reinach hurt his knee in a 48-12 win over Glasgow Warriors and left the field in a brace.
  • Coach John Dobson said Reinach has not been scanned yet and warned he does not expect a quick return.
  • The Stormers expect to be without him for their final two United Rugby Championship league games, with the rest of the season uncertain.
  • The diagnosis could be a medial cruciate ligament injury that keeps him out for up to 11 weeks or an anterior cruciate ligament injury that would sideline him far longer.
  • The club plans to cover scrumhalf with Stefan Ungerer, Imad Khan, Dewaldt Duvenage or Asad Moos as they try to hold first place in the URC.
