Chippa United coach Thabo September says influential midfielder Andile Jali is not injured or suspended even though he didn’t feature against Polokwane City on Saturday.
Jali travelled with the team to Limpopo but watched from the stands as his side dropped all points against Rise and Shine to remain in 12th position on the log with 15 points.
September said the 34-year-old midfielder remains a key part of the Chilli Boys but could not confirm if the player will feature in their next game.
“He’s training, he’s not injured he is not suspended,” September answered iDiski Times when asked about Jali’s absence against City.

The coach also says he takes the responsibility of being in charge of the club seriously.
“It’s a R75 million status so it’s a huge responsibility. It’s not like I’m coaching DDC so I take it seriously. It’s a huge responsibility you mustn’t get the team relegated. It’s a huge responsibility.”
