The club provided an update on his status, revealing that Dortley remains on the injury list while focusing on his rehabilitation.

"Defender, Rushwin Dortley remains on the injury list as he recovers from surgery, and the fitness of the rest of the squad will be assessed during the week's preparation for the clash," stated the club on their official website.

Dortley, 22, has been an integral part of the Chiefs' defensive setup this season, ranking as the second most-used player in the squad behind Inacio Miguel.

With 21 appearances to his name, Dortley has accumulated an impressive total of 1867 minutes on the pitch, showcasing his importance to the team. His consistent performances had made him a reliable fixture in head coach Nasreddine Nabi's defensive plans.

However, the promising young defender's last outing for the club came back in February during a narrow 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns. Since then, Dortley has been sidelined due to surgery, leaving a noticeable gap in Chiefs' backline.

As the team prepares for the upcoming clash against TS Galaxy, Chiefs will closely monitor the fitness of the rest of the squad.
