Dan du Plessis’ Health Update and Return to Rugby

It looks like Dan du Plessis is ready to make his comeback after a health scare last week.

The Stormers’ centre, who recently faced a challenging period due to an injury, had to spend some time in the hospital but is now recovering and will be available for selection in the upcoming match.

A Setback After Injury Recovery

Du Plessis had just returned to full fitness after an injury that sidelined him for months, dating back to November of the previous year.

However, his path to full recovery hit another bump when he was diagnosed with an E. coli infection.

This unexpected setback raised doubts about his participation in the Stormers’ upcoming URC game against the Bulls on Saturday.

The E. coli Incident

Reports suggest that Dan contracted the infection during a swimming session in Camps Bay.

It led to a few days of hospital treatment, where he was put on a drip to recover.

While the details are still somewhat unclear, the young player, now 25, appears to have bounced back and is expected to take the field soon.

It’s worth noting, though, that no official confirmation has been made regarding the exact source of the infection, including whether it was contracted while swimming.

In response to the situation, a City of Cape Town official clarified that no sewage spills had been reported in Camps Bay in January, and regular water quality tests at the beach indicated that the water was safe for recreational use.

A Quick Comeback for the Stormers Player

Now that Dan du Plessis is feeling better, rugby fans can look forward to his return to the field this week.

His potential inclusion in the squad is an exciting prospect for the Stormers as they prepare for their upcoming clash against the Bulls.
