Kaizer Chiefs face Maboe mystery

Kaizer Chiefs midfield maestro Lebohang Maboe pulled out of the latest Bafana Bafana squad with an injury. Is he actually fit, though?

Where is Kaizer Chiefs maestro Lebohang Maboe?

Lebohang Maboe has been in stellar form for Kaizer Chiefs this season. The midfield playmaker has weighed in with two goals and two assists in the Betway Premiership this term, form that earned him a call-up to the Bafana squad to face Eritrea and Guinea. The 32-year-old was set to feature against Guinea but pulled up with an injury in Chiefs’ 0-0 draw with Golden Arrows before the international break. Maboe also missed a penalty in that encounter, so it wasn’t his finest moment. Now, there’s no certainty as to how long that thigh issue will keep him out of action. They’ll be desperate to get the schemer back in time for their clash with Stellies.

Latest injury news is a mixed bag for the Chiefs technical team

Kaizer Chiefs are dealing with a lengthy injury list, but several players are on the comeback trail soon. Striker Flavio Silva is back in training alongside Khanyisa Mayo, who has recovered after a hernia operation. 21-year-old winger Langelihle Phili is also nearing a return after a serious ankle injury he sustained in late August during training. Phili could return for the club’s home match against Stellenbosch on Tuesday 13 October, which kicks off at 19:30.
