Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz has pleaded for patience with the club’s fans regarding young attacker Faiz Abrahams who’s on loan from Stellenbosch FC.
Abrahams, 21, completed his season-long loan move to Naturena last week from Stellenbosch. The deal includes an option for the club to buy the player outright at the end of the season.
Abrahams rose from the Stellies development ranks into the first team; he also had a stint at Hapoel Kfar Saba in Israel. The former Cape Town Spurs attacker was also influential l in the SA national U20 side at their successful U20 Africa Cup of Nations outing last year.
However, he didn’t make the match-day squad when Chiefs were eliminated from the MTN8 competition by Golden Arrows on Sunday at FNB Stadium.
Da Cruz said lack of pre-season is what’s setting the winger back for the moment.
“And then for Faiz he had no pre-season,” said da Cruz.
“He comes without nothing so we are making a plan for him now and we will prepare him step by step.”
“So, you need to be patient.”
