Brilliant Khuzwayo Faces Around Two Months Out At Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper, Brilliant Khuzwayo, faces around two months out after successful ankle surgery, however, is staying positive despite the setback. Read: Bafana's Impressive Record Over Angola It was confirmed last week that the 27-year-old would face a lengthy spell on the sidelines as he went under the knife for an operation on an injury that he sustained during the 3-0 Nedbank Cup win over Stellenbosch FC, and it has now been announced that he faces eight weeks on the sidelines.
Chiefs said today that the surgery went according to plan and that the shot-stopper was in a buoyant mood as he begins his rehabilitation. The player told the Amakhosi's official website, "Lots of people see this as a tragedy, however, for me it is another experience that I have to go through. I look at it in two ways – I can be disappointed but I choose to look forward to return to action much stronger. "I will live to tell the story of positivity. I am an athlete and injuries are part of the game." While Itumeleng Khune will remain first choice for Steve Komphela, Khuzwayo's absence will mean that either Luthando Sixhaso or Brylon Petersen will have to take a step up onto the bench.
