Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Thabo Cele has opened up about his injury setbacks which he says has allowed him self-introspection off the pitch.
Cele struggled to break into the team in the last couple of games towards the end of last year due to competition and rotation in the squad.
However, he has since picked up an injury in training before the programme resumed for the second round of the campaign and is expected to make a recovery soon.
The 29-year-old said he wants to return to the pitch a better player who will contribute to the team’s success.
“I can say that injuries are part of the game,” said Cele on Gagasi FM.
“There’s always going to be setbacks and challenges it’s just how you look at it, your perspective. So how saw it was to introspect and be able to find other things because I’m always trying to improve myself.
“I’m in that phase and I’m able to use time while I’m injured so that when I return, I return better to be able to help the team to win more and like [Mbongiseni] Mthethwa said eventually to win trophies.”
