Kaizer Chiefs have delivered what can only be considered a mixed injury update regarding three key stars.
ICYMI: Chiefs superstar forced to take a pay-cut?
Ditlhokwe out for three months
Thatayaone Ditlhokwe dislocated his shoulder while on international duty in the most recent break with Botswana. Amakhosi’s worst fears were confirmed when the 25-year-old had to undergo surgery.
“TT (Ditlhokwe) came off the operating table yesterday for his shoulder and we expect him to be out for about three months. We wish him a good recovery. And Ashley (du Preez) is maybe a week and a half to two weeks away from being back.” Johnson told the Kaizer Chiefs Media team.
“Keagan Dolly is still recovering and is still involved in his rehab following his injury against Orlando Pirates.”

Kaizer Chiefs still not getting the best out of Ranga
Ranga Chivaviro has been injured for the majority of his Chiefs career so we’ll need to see more of him in the side before making a judgment, but he’s scored just a single league goal in his Chiefs career after 10 appearances, and that was against Cape Town Spurs. There are also rumours of a feud between him and interim boss Cavin Johnson.
