Squad Update | Duane Vermeulen

The Ulster Rugby Medical Performance team has issued a squad update ahead of Saturday’s United Rugby Championship semi-final fixture against DHL Stormers at DHL Stadium.

As a result of testing positive for COVID-19 prior to entering the professional squad bubble, Vermeulen will not train with the team this week. He will continue to be monitored medically and is currently well.

The Public Health Agency has been contacted, and it is expected that he will integrate into the squad over the course of next week.
