INJURED ‘KOMARI’ OUT FOR A WEEK

MBABANE – Injured Moneni Pirates goalkeeper Bright ‘Komari’ Nxumalo will be out of action for a week.

The player got injured after being attacked by football fans at Mahlanya on Sunday afternoon after his team lost 5-6 against Mbabane Highlanders at Somhlolo National Stadium during the SwaziBank Cup quarter-finals.
The former XI Men In Flight goalkeeper got stitched under the eye, where he was hit with a bottle. Nxumalo sustained injuries together with Nhlanhla Gwebu and Mxolisi Lukhele, who both only got minor bruises.

“The doctor instructed me to stay out of action for some time to give the wound under my eye time to heal. We still do not know why we were attacked. The people who attacked us were from Somhlolo because they were wearing one of the team’s replicas,” he said.
