Ngezana Update After Missing Three Games

FCSB and Bafana Bafana defender Siyabonga Ngezana has suffered a muscle injury ahead of the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. 

Ngezana started the new season on a high note winning the Romanian Super Cup and helping his side to qualify for the Europa League.

The former Kaizer Chiefs defender recently represented Bafana Bafana in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan. 

The 27-year-old hasn’t featured for FCSB since returning from the national team. He was on the bench against CFR Cluj but was then excluded from the match-day squad for the clash against Petrolul Ploiesti.

Ngezana has been named in the Bafana Bafana preliminary squad that will face Congo Brazzaville in back-to-back AFCON qualifiers in mid-October, but now looks set to miss out on the final squad as he is expected to at least take a month to recover.

The Chiefs development player missed FCSB’s UEFA Europa League opening match against RFS which they comfortably won 4-1 to move second on the table behind leaders Ajax Amsterdam among 35 other teams.
