Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Mduduzi Shabalala is set for surgery after suffering a broken arm in Wednesday night’s Betway Premiership clash against Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria.
Shabalala was stretchered off following a tackle late in the first half and rushed to hospital, where scans revealed a fracture to his right humerus, a bone between the shoulder and elbow. He remains under medical care ahead of surgery. The expected recovery period is five to six weeks, ruling him out for the remainder of the season with just three matches left to play.
The Club has extended its well wishes, hoping for a smooth operation and a full speedy recovery for the young midfielder.
Meanwhile, striker Wandile Duba was absent from the fixture as he continues to battle a groin injury. The medical team is working diligently to aid his recovery, with hopes of seeing him back on the pitch soon.
