SA Rugby said it would be monitoring the progress of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi who underwent surgery last week.
The world-cup-winning captain underwent an operation on Friday following an injury to the right knee in a recent Vodacom United Rugby Championship fixture.
SA Rugby said on Wednesday that Bok team doctor, Jerome Mampane and his team would continue to monitor Kolisis's recovery and rehabilitation.
Mampane said it was too early to make any reliable forecasts on when the inspirational captain will be able to return to play.
"We wish Siya well during his recovery and we know that he will do everything possible to return to play soon as possible," said Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber.
The Springboks will be sweating over Kolisi's recovery ahead of the shortened Rugby Championship and World Cup in France from 8 September when hosts France take on New Zealand.
