Kaizer Chiefs update: Is the season over for Tebogo Potsane?
Kaizer Chiefs will have to tackle their last three games without yet another one of their players, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
With just three games left of yet another miserable season, another Kaizer Chiefs star may have been ruled out.
Chiefs fans will undoubtedly want to see the back of the current campaign, and maybe Tebogo Potsane does too.
At the start of the season, Chiefs revamped their playing squad, making nine signings. These included Thathoyaone Dithlokwe, Given Msimango, Mduduzi Mdantsane, Pule Mmodi, Ranga Chivaviro, Edson Castillo and Potsane. Then, with the season already under way, Chiefs added Jasond Gonzales and Sibongiseni Mthethwa. In October, they added a 10th signing, the late centre back Luke Fleurs. The former SA U23 star joined Amakhosi on a red transfer from SuperSport United.
Potsane was a surprising signing for many, as he joined the club out of nowhere, with no speculation in sight. was involved in the early stages of his move to Chiefs, figuring in ex-coach Molefi Ntseki’s match day squads. But since Cavin Johnson’s take over, he has been completely sidelined. It has recently been reported that he is out injured and it has been a groin injury that has kept him sidelined for a lengthy period.
POTSANE RULED OUT FOR THE SEASON
Now according to FARPost, that injury could bring a premature end to Potsane’s first season at Chiefs. One that hardly took off.
“The 30-year-old right winger joined Amakhosi (Chiefs) from Royal AM at the start of the season on a three-year contract. But a groin injury has kept him on the sidelines for much of the season. Potsane’s injury is a disappointing setback for both the player and the team. The winger had been making positive contributions to the Soweto giants’ campaign before the injury sidelined him.The exact timeline for Potsane’s recovery is reportedly under evaluation, but realistically, he could be back in time for pre-season.” Wrote the publication.
COULD LEAVE CHIEFS?
Potsane has featured only 11 times for Chiefs this season, making two assists. He joined the club on an initial three-year deal which he now looks unlikely to see out.
