TS Galaxy goalkeeper Melusi Buthelezi was stabbed last night in Soweto following a car hijacking incident, the club has confirmed.
It is believed that the current on-form shot stopper and his brother were on their way when they were attacked by car hijackers at a fuel station in Soweto.
According to the released statement by the club on Sunday, it is reported that both Buthelezi and his brother suffered stab wounds and were admitted to the hospital.
Buthelezi is reportedly in a stable condition even though his brother is said to be critical.
“TS Galaxy FC is appealing to the masses to afford Buthelezi and his family privacy during these trying times, the club said in a statement.
“The club will not be commenting further on the matter until further notice.
“His family has asked for privacy while they are trying to deal with this unforeseen circumstance,” statement further read.
The 23-year-old, who is yet to concede a goal at the highest level, rose to prominence at the start of this year when he made his PSL debut in the Nedbank Cup 0-1 win against Kaizer Chiefs a fortnight ago.
He went on to keep two consecutive clean sheets in the DStv Premiership matches against Swallows and AmaZulu.
