Close your eyes if Manyama is one of your favourite players at Amakhosi. Coach Stuart Baxter has revealed that the Tembisa-born player has suffered a serious injury that could keep him out until next season.
According to Baxter, Manyama suffered a knee cartilage complication during the past week as the team prepared to face Chippa United in the Eastern Cape.
“Lebogang Manyama broke down with his knees, it’s cartilage trouble and that’s going to keep him out for a while,” Baxter said as quoted by iDiskiTimes.
GAVIN HUNT REVEALS FALLOUT WITH CHIEFS‘ MANAGEMENT
Amakhosi’s former coach Gavin Hunt has claimed the club’s management worked against him.
The image is still fresh in the memory. It is the day Amakhosi announced the four-time PSL champion as the new head coach in September 2020.
The stint took just eight months before Hunt was axed on May 2021 after a string of poor results, or was it really based on that?
There were just two games remaining in the season with Kaizer Chiefs in 11th place, while there was also a CAF Champions League semi-final spot in the bag.
From his sum of 44 games, he won 12, drew 17, and lost 15.
“I was told – I won’t say who the person was – I was told ‘we’d rather come sixth in the league and be knocked out first round of the Champions League,’” Hunt said
