CAPE TOWN, Aug ⁠9 (Reuters) - New Zealand centre Billy Proctor will return ⁠home from his side's tour of South Africa ‌after scans revealed a fractured shoulder sustained in the 38-21 victory over the Stormers in Cape Town on Friday.

Proctor looked uncomfortable as he ​left the field after being injured ⁠in a clear-out at ⁠a ruck and is the second player to head ⁠home ‌injured after hooker George Bell sustained a calf injury in training.

"Scans have revealed Billy Proctor ⁠has a shoulder blade fracture," a statement from ​the All ‌Blacks said on Sunday. “This will not require surgery but ⁠will take ​approximately 10 to 12 weeks of recovery, meaning Billy has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour."

There ⁠has been no word of a ​replacement as yet, but local media reports in New Zealand suggest it could open the door for flyhalf Richie Mo'unga ⁠to return to the squad.

New Zealand have three more fixtures against South African franchise teams, starting on Tuesday against the Sharks in Durban, and also take on ​the world champion Springboks in four ⁠tests starting on August 22, the last of which ​is in Baltimore in the United ‌States.

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie ​named his team for the Sharks clash earlier on Sunday.
