Kaizer Chiefs Suffer New Injury Blow, Brandon Petersen Ruled Out of Action for Bafana and the Amakhosi

• Kaizer Chiefs will be without their star goalkeeper, Brandon Petersen, for the next few weeks due to injury
• Brandon Petersen suffered an injury blow during training and is currently undergoing treatment for the injury
• Hugo Broos confirmed that he did not select Brandon Petersen for the Bafana squad because the player was injured

Kaizer Chief will face the next few weeks without their number one choice goalkeeper.

As reported by Soccer Laduma, Brandon Petersen had torn an abdominal muscle while training and was currently undergoing treatment for the injury.

Petersen had been in tremendous form for the Amakhosi and soon became the number one choice goalkeeper for the team. He also received a call up to Bafana’s provisional squad for the upcoming friendlies.

Hugo Broos has since confirmed that Petersen didn’t make the final 23-man squad because of the injury he suffered, iDiski Times confirmed.

“I would have loved to select him because I am looking for South African goalkeepers playing regularly for their clubs, but unfortunately he is injured,” Broos said during a recent live broadcast.

Bruce Bvuma is favourite to take over the gloves at the Amakhosi side but Itumuleng Khune will be hoping that this is his chance to stake his place in the team.

Itu last played for the Amakhosi in August 2021 but did feature in the Compact Cup earlier this year. The legendary keeper has previously stated that he will only retire when Gianluigi Buffon did and would fight for his place in the Kaizer Chiefs setup.
