Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos seems to be a little confused about Thembinkosi Lorch's current injury. Lorch was injured after having a "freak accident" in the shower which led to him dislocating his shoulder.

Broos says he hasn't seen such an injury in 45 years and is asking more questions about Lorch's bizarre crisis. Lorch has been ruled out for the remainder of the year because of the incident but Broos doesn't seem to be convinced by it.

"I don’t understand Lorch’s injury, I have never seen this in my 45 years of coaching. A dislocated shoulder while showering but the same player posts happy pictures on Instagram daily," said Broos according to The South African.

Broos has been very outspoken lately about the state of football in South Africa and has criticised how some clubs do things. He even went as far as saying he was sabotaged when some of the players withdrew from international duty.

Lorch has not been very active on Instagram posts but he does post frequently on his stories. Perhaps that's what Broos doesn't understand. The player will be back in action in 2022 according to his coach Fadlu Davids.
