Pretoria - Officially he is being rested as per the agreement with SA Rugby, but there is real concern that Victor Matfield may be hiding a knee injury that could keep him out a lot longer than this week, the supersport.com website reports.
The Bulls announced late on Monday that Matfield and Jan Serfontein would both be rested for Saturday’s Super Rugby encounter with the Lions at Emirates Airline Park during their weekly injury report from the medical personnel.
But supersport.com has learnt that Matfield is likely to be out a lot longer than just a week, and is currently struggling with a knee injury picked up against the Crusaders.
