WORRIED ABOUT INJURY CRISIS: Township Rollers head coach, Innocent Morapedi PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

Township Rollers’ head coach, Innocent Morapedi, says he is not looking for excuses but reasons as his side hit a slump in recent form. Rollers on Friday evening played to a 1-1 draw with Orapa United in a Botswana Premier League tie played at the National Stadium.

The Blues are winless in four games and are without a win in the month of April. Morapedi has said the team is struggling to keep a fully fit squad since the start of the season and are currently having eight players struggling with injuries.

“It is another bad result but not the performance of players but you can count them how many players are carrying injuries? I am not trying to say we played to a draw because of injuries.
