Kings fear for Sykes Injury
Sykes picked up a rib injury after an inspirational performance to help guide his team to a bruising 32-24 victory over a much fancied Cheetahs team.
He will be treated this week to assess his availability for the next match.
Scott van Breda has a dead leg and his injury will be reviewed during the week.

Besides the normal bumps and bruises, there were no further injuries picked up by the King since last weekend.
Luke Watson has not fully recovered from his quad injury as was anticipated.
The Springbok loose forward has been consistently absent from the Kings team over the past two seasons – this will concern the Kings management – because the team relies heavily on his leadership.
Watson will undergo further investigation this week.
Shane Gates will be out for at least another two weeks with a right foot injury.
David Bulbring has returned to training – with no contact – after he he had an operation for a right shoulder dislocation, and may be available next week.

Davis has a tear of the right knee and he will be out for another seven months.
Van Aswegen and Whitehead both had knee surgery, and will be out for three months and five weeks, respectively.
Cook has a fractured toe and will be out for between two and six weeks.
