Australia fly-half Bernard Foley suffered a new concussion setback during his long-awaited return for the Waratahs.
Foley played his first match of the season against Melbourne Rebels on Friday after missing four games following a pre-season head-knock but concussion symptoms returned after the 32-25 away win.
The Waratahs said in a statement that Foley was a doubt for Sunday's game against the Crusaders.
"Bernard's welfare is our priority right now and our medical team are taking an active treatment process to manage his symptoms," said Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson.
"We will follow the medical advice and he will undergo further testing and treatment prior to any decisions being made about him returning to playing."
The Waratahs tried out different midfield combinations at training on Tuesday and David Horitz is a candidate to take the No 10 shirt.
"(Horwitz) played well last week. He stepped up into first receiver a lot, probably touched the ball more times than Bernard did," said assistant coach Chris Malone.
"Good growth from Dave and he's really come along in terms of being in the squad."
Foley's concussion woes will also be a concern for Wallabies coach Michael Cheika in the lead-up to the June internationals against Fiji, Scotland and Italy.
"There's enough scary articles and different things out there and productions and film around concussion, and it's an issue today that it didn't used to be," said Malone.
"Therefore, from a coaching perspective, it's (only) a game at the end of the day. It's not worth risking the rest of someone's life for a game."
