Kaizer Chiefs Winger Missing From Camp Ahead Of Carling Knockout Semi-Final

Despite continuing to prepare for their Carling Knockout Cup semi-final match against Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs are allegedly missing winger Faiz Abrahams, who has not yet returned to training.Since the players were given a brief break, the 21-year-old reportedly has not reported for duty. Regrouping on Thursday before traveling to Polokwane for a mini-camp, the Amakhosi squad was reportedly without Abrahams, according to the publication’s sources.Reports indicate that the winger was not in the traveling group, even though the team is expected to return to Johannesburg on Sunday.

Since the club is getting ready for a crucial cup match, the circumstances surrounding his absence have garnered attention. Abrahams reportedly told his sources that he no longer wants to play football and has refused to return to the team. From what we can tell, neither the whole story nor an official statement from the club have been disclosed.Soweto club Chiefs have an option to make Abrahams’ season-long loan from Stellenbosch FC permanent. Having said that, his options have been rather restricted. Despite seeing action for Amakhosi for little over 127 minutes, he is still without a goal or an assist.

He has also struggled to establish himself as a regular starter due to the high level of competition for attacking positions. Players like Elias Mokwana, Asanele Velebayi, Pule Mmodi, Mfundo Vilakazi, and Langelihle Phili are vying for wing opportunities.An earlier loan move and the problems it caused are both brought to light by the most recent report. Stellenbosch traded Abrahams to Hapoel Kfar Saba of Israel in July 2025. He supposedly got off to a good start, helping set up six goals in eleven games.While he did take time off in December and January, he allegedly did not go back to Israel as reported in the media.

Stellenbosch allegedly repaid the loan fee as a result of the situation, and FIFA became involved before the agreement was finally terminated.Even though clubs like Orlando Pirates and Durban City FC were reportedly interested in Abrahams, he eventually went back to Stellenbosch.The Chiefs may find themselves in yet another sticky situation as they approach their semi-final match due to his most recent reported absence.

The winger’s future with Naturena is still up in the air, and the Premier Soccer League has not yet verified the reported match date.Viewed from: https://x.com/farpostza/status/2121637309959245954?s=46
