Hlahatsi was hoping to compete for a place in the team in the absence of Tshepo Motsoeneng, who has been away from the first team due to illness.

But the Klerksdorp-born goalkeeper injured his hand. Hlahatsi told the Siya crew that he is confident of a speedy recovery though.

“I fractured my finger. I hurt myself while preparing for the game against Platinum Stars last month. I have an appointment with the doctor for Monday. I am not worried because I am still young and have time on my side,” said Hlahatsi.

Fortunately for Stars, Motsoeneng has recovered and is back training with the team.
