Bulls suffer Labuschagne blow
Labuschagne and Bulls team doctor Herman Rossouw met with specialists on Thursday, where it was confirmed that the stalwart flank has to undergo surgery.
"After weighing up all the facts and opinions of various specialists, we came to this decision that Lappies will be operated on Monday," Rossouw said.
He also confirmed that prop Lizo Gqoboka had to be withdrawn from the Bulls team to play the Lions this weekend due to a groin injury and that he will not be travelling with the team to Polokwane this weekend.
"Lizo had some discomfort and we decided that it will be best to withdraw him from the weekend's match."
He will be fit for selection when the Super Rugby season kicks off later this month Rossouw confirmed.
The Bulls start their campaign against the Stormers at Newlands on February 17.
