Former Wallabies back James O’Connor will miss at least two weeks of the Top 14 competition with illness.
O’Connor was hospitalised for tests after feeling unwell earlier this week but it is the results were positive and there are no concerns over his long-term health.
The 25-year-old posted on Twitter on Saturday morning, saying the hospital visit was due to “hypoglycaemia and game/training fatigue.”
Toulon released a statement overnight, saying O’Connor would continue to undergo tests outside of hospital.
“In the interest of the player's health and precaution, James O'Connor has passed a series of tests and medical examinations in hospitals that have also shown reassuring and satisfying,” the statement read.
“These examinations are continuing, but have no need to be performed in a hospital.”
“The Toulon Rugby Club and its medical service want to take the time to do all the necessary tests before the player resumes the competition but his rugby career is in no way called into question.”
Toulon plays Brive at home on Sunday morning (AEDT) but are yet to announce their team for the match.

Wallabies teammates Sekope Kepu and Adam Ashley-Cooper will come off the bench for Bordeaux in their match against Pau.
