Kaizer Chiefs star injured during AFCON qualifier

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, Kaizer Chiefs were dealt with a massive blow as their first-choice goalkeeper, Fiarce Ntwari, picked up an injury during Rwanda's clash with Nigeria in the AFCON qualifiers on Monday evening.

Rwanda came from a goal down to defeat the Super Eagles 2-1 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

Goals from Ange Mutsinzi and Innocent Nshuti cancelled out Samuel Chukwueze's goal for Nigeria, giving Rwanda the three points they deserved against Augustine Eguavoen's side.

The former TS Galaxy star started in goal for the Wasps but was injured and subbed off in the 69th minute.

The Amakhosi summer signing has a few days to recover as the Glamour Boys will return to action in the Betway Premiership against Richards Bay on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
