Cape Town City have confirmed that midfielder Fortune Makaringe suffered an ankle injury and is expected to be out for an extended period of time.

The 31-year-old joined the Citizens on a free transfer in July following his departure from Orlando Pirates.

The attacking midfielder has been a key figure for the Citizens since his arrival and has made eight appearances across all competitions so far this season.

Makaringe has only missed two matches this campaign but his season has come to a halt after the club confirmed he suffered an ankle injury, which will keep him sidelined for a lengthy period of time.

“Makaringe has suffered an ankle injury, which will see him out for an extended period of time. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Fortune,” read the club’s official statement.
