Cameron Shepherd could be back in the frame for selection this weekend when the Emirates Western Force takes on the Cheetahs, after scans revealed only a minor quad strain.
Shepherd missed the club’s opening tour win against the Lions in Johannesburg as a precaution after he felt pain in the area that kept him sidelined earlier this season. Not wanting to risk a recurrence club medical staff took a cautious approach and are working to have him available for the final two tour matches.
“It was great to get some positive news from the scan,” Shepherd said.
“The type of injury that I had earlier this season is one that can flare up and we just wanted to be safe rather than sorry. I’m really pleased with how it is feeling now.
“I had been feeling good over the past month and enjoying my football. I’m looking forward to getting back amongst it this weekend.
“The medical team has been first class and the treatment over the last few days has definitely helped move things along quickly,” said Shepherd.
Following a hard working 33-12 victory over the Lions the Force touring squad move to their training base in Cape Town before travelling to Bloemfontein to tackle the Cheetahs on Saturday night.
