KickOff reported that Dolly sustained an undisclosed injury before the past weekend’s game against Sekhukhune United. Kaizer Chiefs won that game 1-0.

The win also meant that the Amakhosi are in with a chance of securing CAF Champions League qualification, Sport24 reported. The club are in a battle with Royal AM and Cape Town City.

Dolly has been a standout player for the Amakhosi so far this season after signing from French side Montpellier. He’s made 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring 8 goals and creating 5 assists.

Dolly will also be a doubt for Bafana Bafana and their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The first round of qualifiers will take place later this month and in June. South Africa are in the same group as Morocco, Zimbabwe and Liberia.

Kegan Dolly has served South Africa well during his time as a part of the squad. Dolly has scored three goals in 21 appearances for the national team.

Kaizer Chiefs, Royal AM and Cape Town City chase CAF Champions League qualification in the DStv Premiership

The race for second place in the DStv Premiership is heating up. With one game to go in the season, Royal AM and Chippa United opened the door and let Kaizer Chiefs into their battle, Sports Brief reported.

Royal AM contested a KwaZulu-Natal derby against Lamontville Golden Arrows but could only secure a draw in a four-goal thriller. Mfundo Thikazi gave Shauwn Mkhize’s side the lead in the ninth minute but it was cancelled out nine minutes later by Pule Mmodi.

Mokete Mogaila gave Royal AM the lead again at the half-hour mark before Nduduzo Sibiya converted a penalty to bring his Golden Arrows side level. Kaizer Chiefs were the big winners in the hunt for second spot as they beat Sekhukhune United 1-0.
