With fans anxious about how long Thabo Cele is going to be out for, the midfielder has provided an update on his injury ahead of Kaizer Chiefs' Betway Premiership clash against TS Galaxy.
Hurt, broken, and wounded are all adjectives that could be used to describe the state of affairs in the Chiefs dressing room after their latest result, a 2-1 league defeat to Golden Arrows last weekend.
On Saturday, they face TS Galaxy at Peter Mokaba Stadium with only one thing in mind: getting their top four ambitions back on track, but will unfortunately have to do that without the services of Cele.

The pint-sized midfielder was substituted at half-time of the encounter against Abafana Bes'thende, with fears he might be out for a while.
Good news is that the 26-year-old was present on the training ground on Thursday and showed signs of mobility.
Speaking to media at the club's media open day at the Village, the KwaMashu-born man said he would await the green-light from the club's medical staff.
"Obviously, you saw in the last game, I had some discomfort on my calf," explained Cele.
"But it's something that we've been monitoring with the technical team. I'm going to see today from how I train."
He has impressed since donning the famous Gold and Black jersey in the iconic fixture that is the Soweto Derby, played on February 1, where the side came out on the wrong side of a 1-0 result against rivals Orlando Pirates.
His absence will add further frustration for head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who has admitted the club's injury list had taken its toll.

Chiefs are expected to leave it late with deciding Cele's readiness for the next match depending on the nature of his knock and how long he is expected to be out.
Should he not be available for Saturday, Nabi could call on Sibongiseni Mthethwa, while Edson Castillo is also edging closer to a full return to action.
