against The Sharks after sustaining a knee injury in Saturday’s loss to the MTN Golden Lions.

Ismaiel, who scored his first Currie Cup try, will be out of action for at least two weeks.

Akona Ndungane has been declared fit following a hamstring strain and will train on Monday.

According to the Vodacom Blue Bulls team doctor, Org Strauss, Ismaiel was the only casualty from the

Lions clash.

Tony Jantjies (back), Jacques du Plessis (finger) and Francois Venter (shoulder) will only train on Wednesday,

as will Frik Kirsten, who missed the last two matches due to an ankle injury.

Callie Visagie has also been ruled out for six weeks following a scan on his ankle and he will join Jean Cook

(broken thumb) on the sidelines.

Basil Short (knee), Francois Hougaard (ankle), Cornell Hess (knee), Deon Stegmann (shoulder), Arno Botha

(knee), Pierre Spies (bicep) and Louis Fouche’ (knee) remain long term injuries.

Ismaiel beseer, Ndungane fiks– Medihelp fiksheidsverslag

Die Vodacom Blou Bulle vleuel Travis Ismaiel gaan hierdie naweek se Absa Curriebekerwedstryd teen die Sharks

weens ‘n kniebesering misloop.

Ismaiel, wat sy eerste Curriebekerdrie in afgelpe naweek se wedstryd gedruk het, se knie is teen die MTN Goue

Leeus beseer. Hy gaan minstens twee weke buite aksie wees.

Akona Ndungane is egter weer fiks na sy dyspierbesering en het Maandag geoefen.

Volgens die Vodacom Blou Bulle spandokter, Org Strauss, was Ismaiel die enigste ongeval in die Leeus-stryd.

Tony Jantjies (rug), Jacques du Plessis (vinger) en Francois Venter (skouer) gaan eers Woensdag oefen. Frik Kirsten,

wat die laaste twee wedstryde weens ‘n enkelbesering misgeloop het, oefen Woensdag weer.

Callie Visagie is intussen onfiks verklaar vir die volgende ses weke na ‘n enkelskandering en sluit aan by Jean Cook

(gebreekte duim).

Basil Short (knie), Francois Hougaard (enkel), Cornell Hess (knie), Deon Stegmann (skouer), Arno Botha (knie),

Pierre Spies (bicep) en Louis Fouche’ (knie) bly langtermyn-ongevalle.
