INJURY UPDATE: Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson revealed the respective timelines for when the current crop of injured players are expected to be back on the pitch.

Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson has provided injury timelines for several key players ahead of their Investec Champions Cup opener against Bristol Bears. Dobson noted a crisis among loose forwards, with Hacjivah Dayimani sidelined by a concussion sustained against the Sharks. Dayimani could return next week against Scarlets, alongside Ruan Ackermann, while Keke Morabe has resumed training.
Dobson also confirmed that Marcel Theunissen will miss three to four months following back surgery. Meanwhile, Ben-Jason Dixon faces an uncertain return date due to delayed concussion symptoms, with Dobson indicating a return before the November break is unlikely.
