Gabadinho Mhango has been ruled out for a week in South Africa Absa Premiership due to injury\u2014a latest setback for Malawi\u2019s star striker this season.<\/p>\n
The former Nyasa Big Bullets player limped off in the 25th minute while playing for Bidvest Wits at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, where the hosts, Cape Town City, lost 2-1.<\/p>\n
Vincent Pule replaced the Flames star during the game, which the South Africa champions, Wits, won courtesy of Lehlohonolo Majoro\u2019s double. Craig Martin scored for City.<\/p>\n
Gabadinho, who has endured a torrid time after being banned for a spitting offence a few months ago before being denied game-time at Wits, yesterday confirmed the injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had raced clear towards the goal and, when I thought I would score, the last defender for City fouled me,\u201d said the striker who was Wits\u2019 top scorer last season (with nine goals). He has scored two league goals this season.<\/p>\n
Wits are eighth on the 16-member log table with 28 points from 22 games, lying two points ahead of Limbikani Mzava\u2019s 11th placed Golden Arrows.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Mzava stepped forward to thump into the net the winner for Arrows as they defeated Ajax Cape Town 1-0 to ease relegation fears.<\/p>\n
Mzava and Gabadinho are expected to feature in the Flames\u2019 away friendly against Uganda\u2019s Cranes on March 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
