Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that forward Khama Biliiat picked up an injury during their 2-1 victory over Cape Town City in the Absa Premiership last Tuesday.

The Zimbabwe international sustained a knock to his right pelvic bone during their last league encounter at Newlands Stadium, according to Amakhosi’s medical team.

However, Billiat has had a scan done but the extent of his injury is yet to be confirmed by the club.

Chiefs also gave an update on defender Ramahlwe Mphahlele and midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, who are currently in the process of rehabilitation as they continue to work their way back to full match fitness.

The Glamour Boys released the following statement:

‘Reports coming out of the Chiefs’ medical room indicate an injury for midfielder Khama Billiat while defender Ramahlwe Mphahlele and midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo continue with their rehabilitation process as they aim to make a return to action.

‘Billiat got a knock to his right pelvic bone during the Amakhosi’s 2-1 win in their away Absa Premiership encounter that took place last Tuesday against Cape Town City; he has had a scan done and it is unclear how long he needs to recover at this stage.

‘Mphahlele has had another infiltration into the groin. His pain is subsiding. The good news is that the full back will start jogging this week.

‘Ngcobo is another ray of hope coming through with the news that the youngster has started training with the team albeit making no contact yet. The young midfield dynamo is recovering from an achilles injury picked up last season.’

Amakhosi’s next assignment in the ABSA Premiership is hosting Polokwane City at FNB Stadium. The match is scheduled for Saturday, 14 September, with kick-off set at 6:00pm.
