Mduduzi Mdantsane will have to wait longer to impress new Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi after breaking his jaw in a recent car accident.

The 29-year-old Amakhosi player will be out for three months as he recovers from injury to help Nabi achieve the goals he set for himself at the Soweto club.

On the Chiefs website, physiotherapist David Milner said Mdantsane has had surgery while the club has been linked with several Mzansi-based stars.

Milner said:

"He had surgery and, if all goes well, is expected back in 3 months' time."

Mdantsane is one of many Chiefs players recovering from injury; the club is also waiting on Tebogo Postane, Dillan Solomons, and George Matlou.

Fans wish Mdantsane well

Amakhosi supporters took to social media to wish Mdantsane a speedy recovery, while others say the midfielder should use his time off to look for another club.

Bongani Mgubela is not impressed with Mdantsane:

"He has not lived up to expectations. By the time he recovers, Nabiola would've found his best 11. This means he's unlikely to make an impact this coming season. However, I wish him a speedy recovery."
