Bafana Bafana and former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Keagan Dolly is set to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a fracture in his leg while on duty for French club Montpellier.
The former Ajax Cape Town star is likely to miss Stuart Baxter’s side’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles next month after he picked up a serious injury against Lebogang Mothiba’s Strasbourg.
It was initially feared that the 25-year-old had broken his leg, but upon further analysis, French publication L’Equip revealed that Dolly fractured the fibula in his left leg.
