Out injured: Elias has not gone AWOL but injured according to the club PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

Township Rollers’ forward, Mbatshi Elias has said he is out with an injury and has not gone Absent With Out Leave (AWOL) as reports suggest.

Elias was a conspicuous absentee in Rollers’ international friendly match against South African giants, Kaizer Chiefs played last Saturday. Earlier this week, reports suggested that the player has not reported to Rollers’ pre-season training, which is now in its third week.

The 28-year-old forward is said to have missed the first two weeks of pre-season without an official reason and the club spokesperson, Pako Lebanna confirmed the player is injured. "Mbatshi has a recurring knee problem and right now he is in camp. This knee problem keeps affecting him. He is in camp, he joined this week," Lebanna said.
