Miguel Chaiwa Sidelined After Serious Ankle Injury Against Chad
Chipolopolo and Young Boys midfielder, Miguel Chaiwa, has been sidelined with a significant injury that could keep him out of action for several months. The 20-year-old sustained multiple ligament injuries in his right ankle during Zambia’s recent goalless draw against Chad at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. Following the match, his club, Swiss giants Young Boys, confirmed that Chaiwa requires surgery. This news comes as a major blow both for the national team and his club, as he had been an instrumental figure in midfield.
Chaiwa, known for his robust defensive work and ball distribution, was expected to play a key role in Zambia’s upcoming fixtures. His absence will be sorely felt by both Chipolopolo and Young Boys, as he has consistently proven himself to be a valuable asset on the pitch. His injury is a reminder of how demanding international football can be, with its physical toll on players.
The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate, as Chaiwa had been gaining form and was a rising talent in both the Swiss Super League and for the Zambian national team. Young Boys confirmed the extent of his injury through their social media channels, adding that the midfielder will undergo surgery. The process of recovery will be lengthy, with the club estimating that he will be out for a few months.
For Chipolopolo, losing Chaiwa means coach Avram Grant will need to explore other midfield options for the remainder of their qualifying campaign. It’s a challenging time for the Zambian side, but they will have to adapt to his absence while awaiting his recovery.
Fans from both Zambia and Young Boys are hopeful for Chaiwa’s full and speedy return, with many sending their best wishes across social media.
