FCSB Confirms Ngezana's Injury Status

FCSB Confirms Ngezana's Injury Status

FCSB owner Gigi Becali has revealed Siyabonga Ngezana's injury status after the South African was withdrawn after just 50 minutes during their last game against CFR Cluj.

Ngezana has been a vital part of his team so far this season, as he has played the eighth-most minutes in the FCSB squad across all competitions.

Moreover, his partner at the back, Joyskim Dawa, is the only central defender to have played more minutes than the South African.

Some were recently concerned when the former Kaizer Chiefs star was substituted after 50 minutes during the side's 1-1 draw against Cluj on Sunday.

After being subbed off, Ngezana immediately walked down the tunnel instead of going to the bench, raising concerns that he may have sustained an injury.

With FCSB's next league game coming up on Thursday against Petrolul, Becali has now issued an update regarding Ngezana's fitness status.

"Ngezana has nothing, just muscle fatigue," said Becali, according to Romanian news outlet DigiSPORT.

Notably, Ngezana has two important fixtures this month, as his club will play a two-legged play-off against Greek outfit PAOK in the UEFA Europa League on 13 and 20 February.

Victory in the tie will guarantee Ngezana's side a place in the Europa League round of 16, where he will become the first South African to reach that stage of the tournament since Bongani Zungu with Rangers in the 2020/21 season.
