Kaizer Chiefs football star Doctor Khumalo has been shot in his thigh.
Team manager Bobby Motaung confirmed that Khumalo was shot on Sunday night at his cousin's wedding in Phefeni, Soweto, and said doctors had been unable to remove the bullet.
Motaung said Khumalo was treated and discharged.
Putco Mafani, the Kaizer Chiefs spokesperson, said: "We are shocked. When something like this happens to a soccer player we get worried.
"Legs are the main assets for the soccer player in terms of securing a career. Soccer players use their legs to secure their future."
Mafani added that the team was waiting for a medical report to find out the extent of Khumalo's injuries. - Staff Reporters
