Kaizer Chiefs have given an injury update, confirming that Tebogo Postane, the versatile Dillan Solomons, and midfielders, George Matlou and Mduduzi Mdantsane didn’t travel with the team to Turkiye.
Amakhosi are currently being put through their paces by the club’s new technical team around head coach Nasreddine Nabi, but there were some notable absentees from the squad.
The club’s long-term physiotherapist David Milner confirmed that the four players are in different stages of their recovery, with Potsane the closest to returning.
“Tebogo’s recovery from groin surgery is progressing well and he is expected to be back in training in about two weeks,” Milner told the club’s media team.
“Dillon had shoulder surgery, so he won’t be ready for roughly another nine weeks, although he has started running and rehabilitation.
“George is only expected back in October following his knee surgery. However, I am happy to report that he is in the gym and doing some light running.
Finally, Chiefs also confirmed that Mdantsane suffered a broken jaw in a recent motor vehicle accident.
“He had surgery and, if all goes well, is expected back in 3 months’ time,” the physio concluded.
