Gaston Sirino Faces Six-Week Absence from Kaizer Chiefs After Breaking Rib in Polokwane City Defeat

Kaizer Chiefs’ midfielder Gaston Sirino is currently sidelined after sustaining a broken rib during the team’s 2-0 loss to Polokwane City.

This injury is expected to keep him off the field for a minimum of six weeks, much to the disappointment of fans and the team, who rely on his midfield presence.

Details of Sirino’s Injury

Sources close to the team confirmed that although the injury is not deemed to be very serious, it is still significant enough to rule Sirino out for a while.

The injury occurred during the same match in which Bradley Cross was also injured, but Sirino’s situation is less severe.

“It takes about four weeks for the injury to heal, but for him to return to training and get back to full fitness, it should be around six weeks in total,” a source shared.

This recovery period includes time for rehabilitation and ensuring that Sirino’s return to the field won’t further aggravate his injury.

Medical Confirmation and Impact on His Return

Scans after the game confirmed the broken rib, and while Sirino is expected to heal relatively quickly, doctors are emphasizing the importance of his full recovery before he resumes training.

His return couldn’t come at a worse time for Kaizer Chiefs, who are missing his creative contributions in the midfield.

The team is now without Sirino’s experience during a crucial period of the season.

Resolving Tensions with the Coaching Staff

Beyond the physical aspect of his injury, it seems that Sirino’s relationship with the coaching staff has also improved.

There had previously been some tension, as the coach had not been the one to initially recommend Sirino’s signing.

However, this has been resolved, and there are no longer any off-field issues keeping him out of the squad. “Everything is fine now.

The coach recognizes Sirino’s value on the field, and once he’s back to full health, he will compete for a spot in the team,” said an insider.

Sirino’s Contribution to Kaizer Chiefs

Since his move from Mamelodi Sundowns at the start of the season, Sirino has proven to be an essential player for Chiefs.

Although he has only scored once in the Premiership so far, his creativity and experience in the midfield have added depth to the team’s options.

Fans are eager to see him return to the form that made him a standout signing.

Looking Ahead

For now, Sirino’s focus remains on recovering fully from his injury, and the Chiefs’ supporters are eagerly awaiting his return to bolster the squad in the crucial phases of the season.

Stay tuned for updates on his condition and progress, as we monitor his road to recovery.
