Scandal at Kaiser Chiefs: young winger refuses to return to the club
Kaiser Chiefs have been hit by an unexpected squad issue ahead of their Carling Knockout Cup semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns. 21-year-old winger Faiz Abrahams has not returned to the squad after a short break, FARPost reports.
The players resumed training on Thursday before heading to a training camp in Polokwane. But Abrahams was not among them. According to the source, the footballer not only missed the return to training but also made it clear that he no longer wants to play football.
Abrahams is at Kaiser Chiefs on loan from Stellenbosch. He has played just over 127 minutes for the South African giants, registering no goal contributions. Fierce competition on the wings has made it difficult for him to break into the first team.
This is not the first time the winger has been involved in a similar situation. In 2025, he went on loan to Israeli side Hapoel Kfar Saba but refused to return to the team after a break. Stellenbosch were then forced to terminate the agreement and refund the loan fee.
