Cheetahs lose Willie for 5 weeks

Cape Town - Cheetahs fullback Willie le Roux is struggling with an ankle injury and could be sidelined for up to five weeks, Netwerk24 reports.

Le Roux missed last weekend’s home Super Rugby loss to the Reds due to an agreement with the SA Rugby Union to rest top Springboks.

But the Springbok fullback has struggled with an ankle injury for a while now and will be rested until the injury heals properly.
