“I’ve just done an operation after the injury I sustained last year, but I made it worse when I continued to play with it,” he told Kickoff.

“I aggravated it at the gym, and made it worse during our first-round game against Arrows. So, from there that’s where I started feeling a discomfort and I relaxed a bit, always attending to a physio, not aware that an operation was needed.

“I will be okay though, they have already repaired the damage. So actually, I will only start playing again next season.”

TS Galaxy are currently in eighth place in the DStv Premiership standings with 26 points after 21 matches.

They will next be in action at home against TTM on Saturday, 10 April.

Kick-off is at 17:00.
