Fortune Makaringe Out with Ankle Injury: Cape Town City to Adjust Without Key Midfielder
Cape Town City FC has confirmed that midfielder Fortune Makaringe has sustained an ankle injury that will keep him sidelined for an extended period. The 31-year-old rejoined coach Eric Tinkler at the Citizens after a successful five-year stint at Orlando Pirates, and has been an influential figure in City’s midfield since his arrival.
Makaringe, known for his dynamic presence and experience, has been in excellent form this season, making eight appearances and missing only two games across all competitions. His ability to control the game and break down opposition attacks has made him a key asset for the team. However, with this unfortunate injury, City will have to navigate the remainder of the season without one of their standout performers.
While the exact timeline for Makaringe’s return remains uncertain, the club has confirmed that the midfielder will be unavailable for the foreseeable future. City fans and players alike will undoubtedly miss his leadership and technical ability in the middle of the park.
Cape Town City now faces the challenge of adapting to this setback, with the team needing to rely on their squad depth during a busy festive season fixture list. The likes of Kamohelo Mokotjo, Haashim Domingo, Approcious Petrus, Thabo Nodada, and Taahir Goedeman will likely be tasked with filling the void left by Makaringe’s absence.
The club has extended their well wishes to the midfielder, hoping for a speedy recovery. City supporters will eagerly await his return, but for now, the team must show resilience as they adjust to life without one of their most influential players.
Cape Town City FC took to social media to send their support to Makaringe:
“Makaringe has suffered an ankle injury, which will see him out for an extended period of time. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Fortune. #iamCityFC”
With the festive season ahead, City will need to rally around their squad to maintain their strong start to the season.
