South Africa flanker Schalk Burger has been released from hospital following two weeks of treatment for bacterial meningitis.
The 29-year-old contracted the illness in March following an operation on a nerve in his calf muscle.
The player's agent has since confirmed that Burger, who has also had problems with a knee complaint, has been sent home to recuperate, according to Sport Live.
Burger is not expected to begin training for another six weeks.
