Chiefs star Shabalala to undergo surgery
Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder Mduduzi Shabalala needs surgery after he broke his arm in a tackle during Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with Sundowns. The 22-year-old was rushed to hospital, where scans revealed a fracture to his right humerus. He’s set to be out for around six weeks. That leaves his already faint hopes of a World Cup call-up for Bafana Bafana in tatters.
Kaizer Chiefs close in on CAF Confederation Cup qualification
Meanwhile, Chiefs know that five more points will guarantee third place in the Betway Premiership this term. Next up is a trip to Sekhukhune on Sunday, 10 May, kickoff at 17:30. The match will air on DStv channel 202. Three points here would put them within touching distance of CAF Confederation Cup qualification. Aside from Shabalala, who obviously misses out, midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu will also be absent through suspension after his booking against Sundowns.
