Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates confirmed that midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula has been given the all-clear to resume training in the coming days, following his early withdrawal from the Nedbank Cup Round of 16 fixture against Hungry Lions at Orlando Stadium.
Makhula had to be stretchered off the field just before halftime on Saturday after complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath. He was treated by the club’s medical team with assistance from the medics and promptly transferred to Milpark Hospital for further medical treatment.
According to Orlando Pirates, all necessary investigations have been conducted, and the player has since been discharged after consultation with a specialist.
Makhaula is scheduled to return to training on Wednesday, following an assessment from the Pirates Medical Team.
The player has been given a few days to rest before he can rejoin his teammates.
“I have been ordered to rest and have been taking it easy,” he said. “The coach and the team doctor will advise on how quickly I can rejoin the team, but I’m feeling 100% and ready to go.”
