The DHL Stormers will be without backs Cheslin Kolbe, Dan Kriel and Jean-Luc du Plessis when they take on the Kings in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.

Kolbe sustained a lateral ankle ligament injury against the Jaguares at Newlands and while it has been confirmed that he will be sidelined for Saturday's game, it is not yet clear when he will return to action.

Centre Dan Kriel suffered a lateral knee sprain and flyhalf Jean-Luc du Plessis a groin strain in the same match, and both will sit out the match against the Kings as a precaution.
