    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wandile Duba was stretchered off the pitch during Kaizer Chiefs' Premier Soccer League match against Stellenboach on Wednesday.

    It was a match the 20-year-old struck a brace to help Amakhosi win 2-1 at FNB Stadium.

    But he was taken off with 12 minutes remaining as Ranga Chivaviro replaced him and he has since allayed any fears of a serious injury.

    WHAT DUBA SAID

    "I was cramping. I ran too much and I was just cramping," said Duba when speaking to the media.

    The attacker has seen coach Nasreddine Nabi showing confidence in him in a season where he is enjoying more game time than in other campaigns.

    "Yeah, we are getting used to him [Nabi]," he added.

    "It's just that we have to adjust in every game according to the team we are playing against, but we are getting used to the way he wants us to play."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Duba has turned himself into a key Chiefs player in his third season playing top-flight league football.

    This term, he has featured in all of Chiefs' 12 PSL matches, starting 10 of them while scoring four goals and making an assist.

    He is one of the four Amakhosi players alongside Yusuf Maart, Rushwin Dortley and Mduduzi Shabalala who have participated in every league match this term.

    The Lenasia-born star has also started Chiefs' two Carling Knockout matches and provided an assist.
