It is yet to be seen how long Akpeyi would be out of action, but it appears his season is effectively over with just two games to go in this present campaign.

Before this injury setback, Akpeyi has been a super regular for his Soweto-based side as he has made 25 league appearances for Kaizer Chiefs this season.

Despite Sunday’s loss, Kaizer Chiefs are still top on the ABSA Premier League standings albeit with a superior goals difference over fierce rivals Mamelodi Sundowns who surprisingly lost 1-0 at home on Sunday against Baroka Swallows.
