Kaizer Chiefs made the exciting signing of Gaston Sirino in pre-season but the latest news are not so great.
KAIZER CHIEFS SIGN GASTON SIRINO
After ending his six-year career with Sundowns, the 33-year-old Uruguayan has signed for Amakhosi, thanks to 41 goals and 44 assists for Kabo Yellow.
“We have decided to add some experience in our team by bringing in Sirino,” Motaung Jr told the club’s website, as quoted by iDiski Times. “We know his quality and we believe he will help us this coming season and looking forward to him sharing his experience with our younger players.”
“Gaston’s ability to unlock a tight defence with his guile and craft will add an extra dimension to the team’s creativity and his attributes fit with our idea of how we want to play.”
NEW INJURY
According to the club’s medical team, the Kaizer Chiefs attacker suffered a minor injury in the last match against Mamelodi Sundowns last month.
“Gaston Sirino sustained an abductor muscle injury in the last match, and he is improving nicely, and we expect him to be back in full training within two weeks,” Kaizer Chiefs physiotherapist David Miller said.
Additionally, Brandon Petersen has recovered from his finger injury, while George Matlou, Tebogo Potsane and Edmilson Dove will start full training soon.
“Another player progressing well is George Matlou. He has started running and doing some ball work and we are looking at a November return for him, “ the Kaizer Chiefs physio added.
“He[Potsane] went for a scan which showed some ligament damage, so we expect him to be out for around three weeks.
“Edmilson Dove is out of the protective boot and is doing some preliminary walking. We are confident he will be able to start running in November. Brandon had the pins removed from his finger and can start full training immediately,” Miller concluded.
