Marcell Coetzee returns to SA for treatment

Marcell Coetzee has suffered a recurrence of left knee pain and swelling while training for Ulster and will be unavailable for Ulster's clash with Connacht this weekend. 

Due to the ongoing problems to his knee, he is travelling back to South Africa to seek the opinion of the surgeon who performed his original ACL repair. 

Coetzee missed the majority of last season due to his ACL injury and only featured in 4 of Ulster's 28 matches.
