The 20-year-old Goosen slipped and fell during training on Monday and according to a report on the supersport.com website, it is a serious cruciate ligament tear, which means at least six months on the sidelines.
“It was a freak accident,” Cheetahs team manager Eugene van Wyk told supersport. “He is a bit down, there was nobody near him at the time and he slipped while kicking balls during practice.”
Goosen is due to fly back on Thursday and will immediately undergo surgery to start his rehabilitation.
