This is the reason why Gabriel Nyoni was dumped by Maritzburg United

Absa Premiership side Maritzburg United have revealed why they offloaded Gabriel Nyoni just a season after joining the club.The Zimbabwean was released from his contract at the end of June. He didn’t join the rest of the squad in camp ahead of the season restart after a long break on August 11.Maritzburg chairman Farook Kadodia told the Citizen that injuries forced Nyoni out of the club.

2020 has indeed been a tough year for the football star. He had a nasty fallout with his girlfriend in April that made him front page news. Being dropped out of the squad surely dealt him a major blow and he has had to deal with a lot of drama.

The 27-year old spent some time on the sidelines trying to recover and lost his place in the starting line-up“He is no longer with the club. He struggled a lot with the injury. He is a speedy player, and he had niggling issues every time so he couldn’t give us that because of injury,” Kadodia told the newspaper.“The coach felt he is no longer part of his plans, and we had to let him go. There were injuries that kept him out. We had expected a lot from him. You are as good as your last game in football, but overall we have nothing against the player, and we wish him well for the future.”

Fans have expressed dismay at the way the club handled the matter saying that most players suffer injuries which can heal with time. Others feared for his future and wished him a speedy recovery. If remains to be seen whether the football star will get a new team when he fully recovers
