The defender was treated for about 15 minutes by doctors before being taken off on a stretcher and transferred to a hospital.
“Wandisile Letlabika has been discharged from hospital. Although his head injury was not fatal‚ he is booked off for a few days to recover fully‚” said the club.
Letlabika fell awkwardly and lost consciousness after first smashing his head on the ground and then rolling onto the goalpost as he came second best following an aerial clash with Sundowns captain and midfielder Hlompho Kekana on the stroke of half time. The injury is a setback for Celtic as it rules Letlabika out of contention for their Absa Premiership clash against Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Tuesday.
Celtic caretaker coach Lehlohonolo Seema said that Letlabika’s injury will not leave them thin at centre-back for their trip to Orlando.“We still have Lingwati."We still have our captain of the MDC who can play there‚ we still have Kgasipe who is a centre-back‚ we still have Mereko so those guys are still training with us from the MDC.Celtic are on 30 points from 22 matches ahead of their clash against Pirates.
