Khama Billiat Injured Ahead Of AFCON Qualifier

Warriors manager Wellington Mupandare yesterday told NewsDay that Khama Billiat is  likely to be out for some weeks after his hamstring injury worsened when he played for his South African club Kaizer Chiefs in their 1-0 loss to SuperSport in the MTN Cup semi-final on Saturday night.

Billiat played the entire match but it is understood he was carrying a hamstring injury. The Warriors have an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group G qualifier match away to Congo Brazzaville on Sunday. Said Mupandare:

It’s a huge blow for the team. I have been communicating with his team and him (Khama) as well, and I’m told he has a hamstring problem. He played on Saturday, but he had to pass a late fitness test, but after the game, the hamstring was tight. He is out of the match and it’s very unfortunate. We have invited him to come for our own assessment, but from the information I gathered, it’s not looking pleasing.
