Lebogang Manyama was fortunate to come away from the crash virtually unscathed, as his car was badly damaged during the car accident on Tuesday.
physiotherapist David Milner confirmed on Chiefs official website, “Lebogang Manyama has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a fractured elbow.
“Lebo went through MRI scans yesterday and that revealed a fractured elbow. He will accordingly be treated and be put under a recovery plan.”
