Bok flank Marcell Coetzee has been ruled out of action yet again after sustaining an injury against the Cheetahs last Friday.
Coetzee returned to the field for Ulster at the beginning of the season after two injury-ravaged campaigns and has started in all four of their matches to date.
However, the 27-year-old picked up a shoulder knock during their 39-39 draw against the Cheetahs and will not be considered for selection for their away match against Munster in Limerick this weekend.
Coetzee’s agent, James Adams, confirmed on Twitter that the player will be out for 10 days.
Subject to incorrect media reports @marcell_coetzee is only out for 10 days with a bruised shoulder. The man is back soon for @UlsterRugby . @InTouchSports @Springboks @News24 @SARugbymag

Coetzee’s teammates and compatriots Wiehahn Herbst (groin) and Rob Herring (toe), along with Sean Reidy (hamstring) and Henry Speight (knee) have also been ruled out for at least a week.
