Staff Correspondent|HERENTALS manager Oliver Chirenga last night said captain and striker Blessing Majarira was recovering well after collapsing upon clash of heads with Mutare City Rovers defender Gift Jimu at Rufaro Stadium yesterday.

The Herentals family had a scary moment after Majarira and Jimu clashed in an aerial challenge. What aggravated the incident was Majarira’s awkward fall that saw the striker hit the deck by his neck and collapse right away.

There was, however, panic as motionless Majarira began biting his tongue before medical officials came to the rescue and rushed him to hospital.

The Herentals family had a scary moment after Majarira and Jimu clashed in an aerial challenge. What aggravated the incident was Majarira’s awkward fall that saw the striker hit the deck by his neck and collapse right away.

There was, however, panic as motionless Majarira began biting his tongue before medical officials came to the rescue and rushed him to hospital.

“He is recovering well. That time when he got injured he was biting his tongue but now he is fine. We are actually talking with him and with what doctors are saying he is alright,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jimu sustained a head injury but was still able to continue with play as Mutare City Rovers succumbed to pressure and gave away the match.

Jimu recalled the clash before wishing Majarira a quick recovery in an act of true spirit of the game and sportsmanship.

“I went for an aerial ball and Blessing came trying to head as well that’s when we collided. I don’t remember what happened from there because I also fell.”

He added: “I don’t know how he is but I wish Blessing a quick recovery. I wish him to get well soon.”
