The Highlanders have confirmed captain James Lentjes will miss the remainder of the Super Rugby season after sustaining a horror injury last Friday night.
Lentjes was stretchered off in visible pain in the the first half of the Highlanders' 28-22 loss to the Rebels in Dunedin after his left leg was caught under a player as he was cleaned out.
The Highlanders said in a statement this morning the injury was as serious as it initially looked.
Lentjes is expected to undergo surgery within the next 10 days.
