Kaizer Chiefs injury horrors
The Glamour Boys have had horrid luck when it comes to injuries in the 2018/19 seasn, losing key players at crucial stages of the campaign.
The likes of Willard Katsande, Leonardo Castro, Lebogang Manyama and Khama Billiat have all spent some time on the sidelines, while some have seen their season ended by injury.
Out of all the players who have had the misfortune of spending a huge chunk of the season watching the action from the stands or at home, teenage sensation Wiseman Meyiwa experienced the worst of the lot as a car accident left him in a wheelchair, ending his career at just 19.
The midfielder was the second Chiefs player to suffer a motor accident in a space of two months, as Manyama had fractured his elbow after crashing his car just weeks prior.
The injury list at Naturena currently features the likes of skipper Itumeleng Khune, who is out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, as well as experienced defender Eric Matoho.
