Nurkovic underwent an operation at the end of September to repair the meniscus in his right knee, an injury that he initially picked up on June 26 in the CAF Champions League semi-final second leg tie against Wydad Casablanca.
He held on to play 90 minutes in that match and then again in the final despite the nagging effects and played in the first five games this term before giving in ahead of the game against Marumo Gallants in September. The 29-year-old is now doing his physiotherapy as he works towards returning early enough to play enough games in the remainder of the season with Chiefs back in action on February 15 against Cape Town City.
Chiefs have noted they remain open to a transfer for a while now though the prospect of that happening in this window is dead as Nurkovic is not yet back to fitness.AmaKhosi turned down offers that reached R15 million at the end of Nurkovic’s first season before improving his contract which runs up at the end of the season with an option of another season.
This season – his third at the club – has been blighted by injury again and had not scored when he underwent surgery in September.
Castro is the one hu must via 🤞🏾
This decision will be regretted when he joins another PSL and regaibs his form.
One season wonder
He's cheap now but at least we can afford someone useful with his salary like Ashley du Preez
I hope someone shows interest in him Chiefs are better off without him
Bjang a hola 1billion ke maaka Maan
A good player doesn't become bad overnight. Nurkovic is a player we need to keep. Chiefs needs to build depth. Him and Castro are our only strikers if we are to be honest.
Wonderful news!
Like to see 👀him playing again 4 khosination.
Let him go
Is he still there?
Nurkovic was doing well but the injuries and lack of game time killed his performance.
