Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya begins rehabilitation process after suffering ankle injury

DURBAN – Zimbabwe Warriors and AmaZulu striker Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya has officially begun his rehabilitation process following an ankle injury he sustained during AmaZulu’s Carling Black Label Cup match against Magesi FC just before the international break.

The talented forward, who has been in impressive form, was forced off the field after picking up the knock in what initially appeared to be a minor concern.

However, further medical assessments confirmed that the injury required him to rest and undergo rehabilitation before making a full recovery.

As a result, Ngwenya was released from the Warriors camp ahead of their recent World Cup qualifier fixture against Lesotho and was replaced by Daniel Msendami.

His absence was felt, especially considering the momentum he had built at AmaZulu, where he has quickly become one of the team’s most reliable goal-scorers since joining in July.

A source close to the player revealed that Ngwenya has already started light training and physiotherapy sessions under the supervision of AmaZulu’s medical staff.

The team remains optimistic that he will return to full fitness in the coming three weeks, though no specific date has been set for his comeback.

Despite the setback, Ngwenya is said to be maintaining a positive attitude and has expressed determination to return stronger for both AmaZulu and the Warriors, as the AFCON finals in December draw closer.

His recovery will be closely monitored by both the club and the national team, with hopes high the striker will regain match fitness in time to contribute to Zimbabwe’s preparations ahead of the continental showpiece in Morocco.
