Be Forward Wanderers striker, Ishmael Thindwa, says he is increasingly getting frustrated by lack of game time due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n
The former Zimbabwe\u2019s Caps United striker has spent six months without playing competitively, and is likely to miss the 2016 TNM Super League\u2019s opening weeks.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, Thindwa said he was making steady recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to playing good football next season. It was tough last season without playing football,\u201d Thindwa said.<\/p>\n
He only made one competitive appearance as a substitute for Nomads in a 2015 Carlsberg Cup match last season.<\/p>\n
Recently, Thindwa went for a successful operation on his damaged knee ligament at Beit Cure International Hospital in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
Wanderers\u2019 team manager, Steve Madeira, painted a gloomy picture yesterday that it could take some months for Thindwa to start playing active football.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is recovering well. We went for check-up last week, and we will go for another check-up next week. We are hoping that he might resume light training soon, but as a precaution we will not rush him into action,\u201d Madeira said.<\/p>\n
Thindwa\u2019s football career took a reverse gear in Zimbabwe where he had limited game time at Caps in two years. The frustrations forced him to negotiate for a move to Wanderers.<\/p>\n
Before joining Caps from Epac, Thindwa was one of the most feared forwards on the domestic scene having won the TNM Super League Golden Boot Award twice in three seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
