Masilela To Undergo Scan

accreditation

Kaizer Chiefs left back, Tsepo Masilela, will undergo a scan this week to determine the extent of a thigh injury he sustained while on international duty. The 28-year-old picked up the problem during preparations for Bafana's clash with Swaziland recently.

The player's unfortunate niggle has also ruled him out of tonight's (November 19) clash with Spain at the FNB Stadium. Orlando Pirates defender, Thabo Matlaba, is expected to deputize for Masilela against La Furia Roja.

It's thought that Masilela could be ruled out for at least a couple of weeks which must come as a blow to Chiefs coach, Stuart Baxter.

The English coach may have to rely on Keegan Ritchie at left back ahead of Saturday's Telkom Knockout semi-final against Platinum Stars. A plus for Chiefs is that Jimmy Jambo is thought to be nearing a return sometime in the near future which may give Baxter added options should Masilela be ruled out for an extended period.

The Siya crew will monitor developments.
