Mendoza - The Pumas will face the Springboks in their return Rugby Championship match in Mendoza on Saturday without the services of Juan Imhoff, who has been ruled out of the clash due to a quad injury.
According to Rugby365's website, the speedy wing suffered the leg injury at training on Thursday and as a result his place on the bench has been taken by Joaquin Tuculet.
Pumas doctor Guillermo Botto confirmed that the Racing Metro wing will also miss the Pumas trip to New Zealand to face the All Blacks as he will be out of action for the next two weeks.
The 24-year-old utility back Tuculet, who plays for Grenoble in the French Top 14, will earn his sixth Test cap if he takes the field.
Kick-off for the match at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza is at 21:10.
