Kaizer Chiefs’ coaching staff are fearing the worst. Amakhosi goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari might spend time on the sidelines.
FIACRE NTWARI INJURED
Having started all Kaizer Chiefs games this season after arriving from TS Galaxy, Ntwari suffered an injury while playing for Rwanda against Nigeria on Monday. The 25-year-old from Gisozi will be examined by the Amakhosi medical team before they reveal the extent of the injury.
In the meantime, the team will be training for the next six days before hosting Richards Bay in Polokwane on Wednesday, 27 November.
KAIZER CHIEFS TARGET RETURNING TO TUNISIA
Three days is a long time in the football business. Kaizer Chiefs target Elias Mokwana is suddenly set to return to Esperance.
Mokwana, who was heavily linked with Kaizer Chiefs, is set to stay at Esperance in Tunisia.
The 25-year-old made a R7 million move to Tunis from Sekhukhune United in August after the club rejected Kaizer Chiefs’ offer.
As reported last Friday, the player’s attorney, Kabelo Mashigo, said the Tunisian giants breached the contract after failing to make payments for the KwaMhlanga-born winger.
“Much of the issues are confidential,” Mashigo told SABC Sports’ Mazola Molefe last week.
“But I can confirm that the club is in breach of the agreement. We provided them with notice to rectify the breach. They have not complied, leaving the player with no option but to accept the repudiation. Elias is focusing on the call-up now and once that is done, we will consider the next step,” Mashigo added.
UPDATE: MOKWANA STAYING
With 72 hours gone, Mashigo has since revealed that the matter has been resolved. Mokwana is set to return to Esperance after Bafana Bafana’s match against South Sudan on Tuesday.
“On Friday we had a discussion with the club, and we were able to find each other,” Mashigo said.
“The club has essentially rectified its breach, meaning they are no longer in breach and have complied with the terms of the contract to date.
Mashigo concluded: “Elias will be returning to Tunis to fulfil his obligations as per the contract once he is done with national duty,” his attorney assured the public broadcaster.
