Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Gaston Sirino is currently sidelined due to a broken rib he sustained during the team’s 2-0 loss to Polokwane City.
The injury is expected to keep Sirino out of action for at least six weeks, which is a blow to the team, as they miss his presence in the midfield.
The Injury Details
According to a close source, Sirino’s rib injury is not severe, but it still requires significant recovery time.
“It’s a broken rib injury.
It’s not too serious, but he will be out for a while,” the source explained.
“The injury happened during the Polokwane City game, which was also when Bradley Cross got injured.
Sirino’s injury is minor compared to Bradley’s, which is why he’ll be out for about six weeks in total.”
While rib injuries generally take about four weeks to heal, doctors have recommended an additional two weeks for full recovery before Sirino can resume training.
Medical Scans Confirm Recovery Timeline
After medical scans confirmed the injury, it was clear that Sirino would need some time before returning to full training.
Doctors expect his recovery to last for up to six weeks, allowing enough time for rehabilitation and conditioning before he can step back onto the field for competitive matches.
This extended timeline ensures that Sirino will avoid any setbacks and can return stronger.
Addressing Previous Tensions with the Coaching Staff
Aside from the injury, it has been confirmed that Sirino’s absence is not due to any issues with the coaching staff.
There had been some tension earlier in the season, mainly because the coach was not involved in Sirino’s signing.
However, those differences have now been resolved, and the focus is solely on his recovery. “There is nothing keeping him out apart from the injury,” an insider revealed.
“The misunderstanding with the coach is behind him now.
They can see his quality on the field, and that’s all that matters.”
Once recovered, Sirino will be given the chance to compete for his place in the team, just like any other player.
Sirino’s Impact at Kaizer Chiefs
Since joining Kaizer Chiefs from Mamelodi Sundowns at the start of the season, Sirino has quickly become a fan favorite.
Though he has only scored once in the Betway Premiership so far, his vision, creativity, and experience have been crucial for the team in the midfield.
Fans are eagerly anticipating his return, hoping he can regain his form and help Kaizer Chiefs in the crucial stages of the season.
For now, Sirino’s health remains the priority, and the club will be looking forward to his full recovery.
The team hopes he will be back soon, ready to make an impact when they need him the most.
