The Cheetahs have been dealt a serious blow with the news that centre Nico Lee will miss the next four to six weeks of Super Rugby with an ankle injury.
Lee sustained the injury in the 48-21 defeat to the Crusaders in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
According to Supersport, the 23-year-old has a grade two ankle injury and will only return after the June international break. He is set to be replaced by William Small-Smith.
The Pretoria-born midfielder has firmly established himself as the centre partner for captain Francois Venter this season and will be disappointed as he was a contender for the South African A side to face the French Barbarians in June.
Meanwhile, flyhalf Fred Zeilinga is fit and ready for selection again on the plus side.
