According to a Dailly Telegraph report on Friday morning, Te Hau is still in hospital and being monitored.
The young gun is a Queensland under-18 representative but is yet make his NRL debut.
There are high hopes around his future with the winger also able to play at full-back.
The news of his collapse is just more drama for the Rabbitohs as they endure a season from hell.
Coach Jason Demetriou has been under extreme pressure with rumours continuing to circulate that he might be sacked imminently.
Recently, the club added the experienced David Furner as an assistant to help out the beleaguered Demetriou.
The former Canberra head coach and long-time assistant returns to Redfern, where he worked in 2017 and 2018 under Michael Maguire and Anthony Seibold.
The Rabbitohs lost experienced assistants Sam Burgess and John Morris late last year, with the stacked side going through a tumultuous period in which they’ve won just five of their past 19 games.
Demetriou said Furner would look after the team’s defence, which is currently ranked the worst in the competition conceding nearly 33 points per game.
Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga was linked with taking the role on an interim basis should Souths sack Demetriou, although both he and the club have denied there has been an official approach.
