Etzebeth, who has been sidelined with a broken toe, was expected to be back in time for the domestic match in the Super Rugby 2014 tournament.
“Eben is not ready to play and won’t be up for selection for either of our two remaining Super Rugby fixtures,” said Coetzee in a press conference on Monday.
“He will probably be ready in time to play for the Springboks in the Rugby Championship, but he wasn’t ready in time for the projected return date of 28 June and will have to now sit out a few more weeks because of his toe injury.”
Etzebeth has been out of rugby since his outing with the Boks against France in the last test of 2013 in Paris.
