Dan du Plessis should be back in the Stormers midfield on Saturday despite being hospitalised last week.
The 25-year-old centre has not played since late November due to a knee injury, but that’s not why he was in doubt for the north-south Vodacom URC derby against the Vodacom Bulls at Cape Town Stadium.
According to Netwerk24, Du Plessis spent a few days on a drip in hospital last week because of an E. coli infection that he is suspected to have contracted during a swimming session in Camps Bay.
But he has since recovered and is expected to make his rugby return this week.

Du Plessis’ last outing for the Stormers was against the Sharks at Kings Park in round 7 of the URC.
