Kaizer Chiefs player's father raises alarm: Faiz Abrahams' problems go far beyond football
The father of Kaizer Chiefs footballer Faiz Abrahams has spoken about his son's serious problems after he once again failed to return to the club following a break. According to Muneeri Abrahams, the situation goes far beyond simply not wanting to play football.
It is definitely related to his well-being, and the problem is much more serious, the player's father told Kick-Off.
He said the 21-year-old winger has almost stopped communicating with those close to him, spends most of his time shut away in his room and has even become distant from his friends. The family does not understand what caused the changes and is afraid of putting additional pressure on the footballer.
According to his father, Abrahams experienced similar problems while playing for Israeli club Hapoel Kfar Saba. His behaviour changed then too, and he ultimately failed to return to the team after a break.
Abrahams is currently on loan at Kaizer Chiefs from Stellenbosch. He is finding it difficult to fight for playing time at the club, with fierce competition on the wing. Meanwhile, the team is preparing for next weekend's Carling Cup semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns.
