Injury blow: Kaizer Chiefs star joins four others in physio room!

Kaizer Chiefs look set enter the new season with just two ‘trusted’ goalkeepers!

This comes after first team goalkeeper Brandon Petersen suffered an injury during their pre-season preparations.

New signing Fiacre Ntwari looks set to be thrown into the deep end alongside Bruce Bvuma.

Kaizer Chiefs are yet to take a final decision on veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune and with reports suggesting Petersen will miss around 10 matches, the club may be forced to keep Khune around as a back-up!

Another Kaizer Chiefs star suffers injury

“Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen has been sidelined due to a finger injury, casting a shadow over the start of the Betway Premiership season for the Amakhosi,” – a FARPost report read.

“The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, but it occurred during pre-season training and has kept Petersen sidelined in recent matches.”

Petersen joins Tebogo Potsane, George Matlou and Mduduzi Mdantsane who are all currently out injured.

The good news however is that Dillon Solomons is on the mend. The speedy winger is back on the green grass after being sidelined with a serious shoulder injury.
