Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe is excited to welcome Thabang Matuludi back to action ahead of schedule after an injury lay-off.
The 26-year-old defender has missed his side’s last five games with a knee injury he suffered against SuperSport United last month that was expected to keep him sidelined for some time.
The Bafana Bafana defender is, however, expected to start his rehabilitation in the next two weeks.
Prior to his injury, Matuludi played 14 matches across all competitions, scoring two goals and creating one.
The Rise and Shine manager said on FARPost: “He is about to come back. We thought it would be a long-term injury, but we were so lucky that it is not long-term.
“So he will be back not so long. I think in a week or two, he will start with his rehab. So that one [Matuludi] is about to come back.”
Polokwane have been in superb form this season but lost 1-0 to struggling Magesi on Tuesday.
They are next in action away to Marumo Gallants on Sunday.
