Marais has recovered from surgery to his right knee, and will possibly be considered for their next match against the Lions.

Loose forward Engelbrecht has been struggling with a left hip pointer injury but seems to be on the brink of a return to the Kings team.

Flyhalf Watts has overcome the thigh injury that has sidelined him for a number of weeks.

Playmaker George Whitehead is still out with a knee injury and is expected back in four weeks.

Shane Gates has a fractured fifth meta-tarsal on his right foot and may be out for three to four weeks.

David Bulbring, Aidon Davis and Gary van Aswegen are still out with long-term injuries.
