Ismaiel out for up to eight weeks

The Bulls have released a medical update following their clash with the Crusaders which reveals Travis Ismaiel suffered an injury.

He sustained an injury to his knee, which is a grade three medial collateral ligament issue, and he has subsequently been sent for a scan.

According to Bulls doctor Herman Rossouw, Ismaiel is set to miss between six to eight weeks in a blow for head coach Nollis Marais.

In a positive, however, JT Jackson, Arno Botha and Ruan Steenkamp are all now cleared and available for selection against the Highlanders.
