Kaizer Chiefs have suffered a significant injury setback after captain and goalkeeper Brandon Petersen was ruled out for four to six weeks with a knee injury.
Petersen’s absence leaves Amakhosi without their captain for an extended period and forces the technical team to make changes between the posts.
The goalkeeper could miss several upcoming fixtures, although his exact return date will depend on his recovery and medical clearance.
The injury also presents a leadership challenge for Chiefs, with the club needing another player to take over the captaincy while Petersen recovers.
Meanwhile, forward Wandile Duba has also been ruled out for two weeks after sustaining a groin injury.
Duba’s absence further reduces the technical team’s options as Chiefs prepare for their upcoming matches.
Both players will undergo rehabilitation, with the club hoping they recover within their expected timelines.
