“It’s unfortunate obviously. We don’t have Radiopane available due to the injury he picked up against Casric Stars.” – Shaun Bartlett told KickOff.

“The extent of the injury is not known yet, but he’ll definitely not be available in the [Maritzburg] game.

“I think come Monday, we’ll probably have a clear picture with regards to the length of his recovery, after seeing a specialist.

“He’s contributed in every way possible as far as goals and even assists. I think the least we can do is to try and win it so he’s got an opportunity should he come back to us next season, to play in the DStv Premiership.”

In other news, Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa has confirmed that he’ll be willing to re-sign struggling Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo.

Ngcobo has struggled to replicate the form that saw him win the Defender of The Season award with Swallows.

Despite being at Naturena for two seasons now, Ngcobo hasn’t adjusted to life as a Glamour Boy.

And now, Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa has offered him a ‘get out of jail free’ card!

“Very disappointed, I think he’s also disappointed that he did not get game time. I’m open to talks if they (Kaizer Chiefs) want to send him out, I’m willing to take him.” – Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa told SoccerLaduma.

“He did very well at Swallows. I always say to people the pressure at Swallows is not the same pressure at Chiefs. You can be a very good player at Swallows and be a bad player at Chiefs.”
