Kaizer Chiefs suffers two injury blows in their 2024-2025 pre-season camp in Turkey, as they lose two top defenders.
Ahead of heading to Turkey for pre-season, Amakhosi left behind five players, namely, Mduduzi Mdantsane, George Matlou, Dillan Solomons, Tebogo Potsane, and Ashley Du Preez because of injuries the players were carrying.

However, Du Preez recovered in time from his foot injury and joined his teammates in Europe before the club was hit by a double blow in training this past weekend.
Amakhosi took to social media to announce that Edmilson Dove has suffered an injury that will require full assessment and medical attention back in South Africa.
“Kaizer Chiefs’ defender Edmilson Dove has joined the Club’s injury list after he suffered an injury during Friday’s session at Amakhosi’s pre-season training camp in Türkiye,” the club stated.
“The Mozambican international has been examined by the medical team in camp. He will leave Türkiye and head back to South Africa for a full assessment and medical attention.
“We wish him and the rest of the injured fellows a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing them back on the training grounds and field of play soon.”
However, the former Cape Town City FC appears to not be the only one heading home after picking up an injury in Turkey, as new signing Bongani Sam has also picked an injury and has headed back to South Africa alongside Dove.
