Kaizer Chiefs are taken by surprise by a specific aspect regarding their new 21-year-old player!

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly dealing with a disciplinary issue involving winger Faiz Abrahams, who has apparently gone missing from the club. The 21-year-old, who arrived at Chiefs this season, failed to show up for duty as the team began preparations for their Carling Knockout Cup fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Amakhosi squad reassembled on Thursday and then headed to Polokwane for a mini-camp ahead of the match, with plans to return to Johannesburg on Sunday. Abrahams was notably absent from the group that traveled.

A problem during team training sessions

Reports from FARPost indicate that Faiz Abrahams has still not turned up for training since the squad returned from a brief break. According to sources cited by the publication, the 21-year-old has not reported for duty, and the team regrouped on Thursday before making the trip to Polokwane for a mini-camp, with a return to Johannesburg planned for Sunday. Abrahams was conspicuously missing from the group that traveled.

What makes the situation more troubling are claims that the young player has no desire to continue his football career at all. Sources reportedly told FARPost that Abrahams has made it clear he no longer wants to play the game. The winger arrived at Kaizer Chiefs on loan from Stellenbosch FC back in August, but he has found it difficult to nail down a regular spot in the lineup, featuring only sparingly and finding the net just once this season.

His unexplained absence adds another layer of worry for Amakhosi as they gear up for their cup tie against Mamelodi Sundowns. So far, Kaizer Chiefs have not issued any official statement or response regarding the reports about the winger's whereabouts.
