Onsimor Bhasera on the mend

MUTARE- BORN star Onsimor Bhasera, who believes he still has a role to play for both the country and club, is confident that he will be back in action early December after a long lay- off due to injury.

The SuperSport United player has been nursing an injury sustained in a match against TP Mazembe in June.

The talented left-back was injured when SuperSport were forced into the first change of the game against TP Mazembe, with Jeremy Brockie replacing the injured Bhasera, who sustained a knock late in the first stanza of the CAF Champions League match in June.

The roving Warriors’ leftback told this newspaper from his base in South Africa that he still has a role to play for both his club and the senior men’s national team.

He said he was hoping to be back in action early December.

“I have been recovering since I got injured in the match against TP Mazembe and I hope I will be fully fit by early December. In fact, the doctors who have been monitoring me said I should be fit to play by then.

“I think I still have a role to play for both my country and club. I am only praying that I will be back in action for my club first and also get the chance to play for the Warriors.

“I have no doubt that I will be able to contribute meaningfully to the national team if given the chance. I still feel I have a couple of years to play ahead of me,” said the 31-year- old Bhasera.

Born on January 7, 1986, Bhasera plays as a left- back for SuperSport United in the South African ABSA Premiership after previously playing in the South African Premier Division for Bidvest Wits as well as topflight league teams, Maritzburg United and Kaizer Chiefs, and the Football League for Plymouth Argyle.

He was part of the Lord Malvern High School team that won the Coca- Cola NASH competition three times in a row between 2001 and 2003.
