The South African rugby icon took to Instagram to share the news with his 1.2 million followers, offering reassurance that his operation went well despite the setback. Kolisi’s injury occurred during Racing 92’s recent match against Bordeaux-Begles in the Top 14 league, where he valiantly played through the pain until the final whistle.
“Operation went well! Will be back soon,” Kolisi wrote in his social media post, sparking an outpouring of support from fans and fellow athletes alike.
The timing of Kolisi’s injury poses a challenge for Racing 92, who have been grappling with a string of defeats in the league. With their talismanic leader sidelined, Racing will face an uphill battle in their upcoming matches, including a crucial Champions Cup round of 16 clash against Toulouse in April.

However, for South African supporters, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Kolisi’s anticipated return to full fitness aligns perfectly with the Springboks’ upcoming series against Ireland in July. As the reigning world champions prepare to take on the formidable Irish squad, Kolisi’s presence will undoubtedly bolster South Africa’s chances on the field.
Meanwhile, Racing 92 will need to navigate through challenging fixtures against Toulon and Castres in the Top 14 without their influential flanker. Despite the setback, Racing remains determined to climb back up the league standings and reclaim their position among the top contenders.
As Siya Kolisi embarks on the road to recovery, fans eagerly await his triumphant return to the pitch, ready to witness his unwavering leadership and remarkable skill once again.
