Bidvest Wits 'medically re-assessing' Papy Faty

Faty went down on the touchline in Saturday’s draw with Chippa United, causing some panic considering that he had also collapsed at training in December in mysterious circumstances leading to a long lay-off. 

After standing up and returning to the field, the Burundian was substituted minutes later as a precautionary measure during the first half of that encounter. 

He has not been selected for tonight’s game away at Mpumalanga Black Aces.

“This is a precautionary measure,” Wits CEO Jose Ferreira tells snl24.com/kickoff. “The club is now medically re-assessing the situation and for now there is no physical activity for him.

“We will be guided by what comes out of the re-assessment. There is not much else to say now.”

Faty had sat out three months after initially collapsing during a friendly match in December and then spending time in hospital afterwards.

Upon his return he scored a brace against SuperSport United a week ago and was on Saturday playing in his second match since returning.
