Barker Gives Injury Update Ahead Of Chiefs Clash

Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker has given a club injury update ahead of the Kaizer Chiefs clash on Sunday afternoon.

Stellies are feeling in good form after winning two of their last three games, whilst drawing one. Barker’s side aims to keep that good form going when they face Amakhosi on Sunday afternoon. The 54-year-old hopes their injuries won’t affect their current run, especially at home where they’ve collected most of their points.

“Athenkosi Mcaba is still injured, but he has started training looking good at training so hopefully he will be eligible in a game or two,” Barker told gathered journalists

“Lasse Sobiech, (our) German defender got a kick on his ankle in a friendly match against Cape Town Spurs and he is recovering from that.

“Our long-term injury is Juan Carlos Ortiz he’s done his ACL so he will be back in training and available maybe late January or early February. Oshwin Andries was not injured but is in the U20 national team. “
