Kaizer Chiefs give Rushwin Dortley injury update as the Soweto giants seek to end PSL winless run against TS Galaxy

Kaizer Chiefs defender Rushwin Dortley was injured at the start of March and had to undergo surgery.

The injury came at a time when he had established himself as a regular for Chiefs as well as Bafana Bafana.

Amakhosi give an update on the centre-back's fitness situation. 

"Defender, Rushwin Dortley remains on the injury list as he recovers from surgery, and the fitness of the rest of the squad will be assessed during the week’s preparation for the clash," said the club in a statement. 

It is not yet clear if Dortley will be back to full fitness before the end of the current campaign.

His injury has opened an opportunity for Given Msimango to get back into the fray and start alongside Inacio Miguel.

When he recovers, Dortley will be trying to reclaim his spot in the heart of defence and enhance his chances of going to December's Africa Cup of Nations with Bafana.

For now, Chiefs are trying to shake off a difficult spell in which they have failed to win their last three Premier Soccer League games.

They host tricky TS Galaxy at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday seeking to collect maximum points.
