Galaxy dedicate win to Parker, Mokwena says Zungu's tackle was ...

“We wish Bernard Parker a speedy recovery following a horrific injury last night,” Galaxy wrote.

“We’ve lost a soldier whom we shall dearly miss as our journey on the battlefield continues. Come back stronger, Die Hond! We dedicate last night’s victory to you.”

According to SuperSport presenter Phumlani Msibi, who spoke to Parker before he was hospitalised, the 37-year-old star lamented this might be the end of his career.

After the game at Mbombela Stadium, Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena wished Parker a speedy recovery. The coach said he was certain Zungu’s tackle was not malicious.

“I can only wish Bernard Parker a speedy recovery. I hope it’s not as serious as it looks,” Mokwena said.

“Knowing Bongani Zungu, I know it was not malicious. There was no malicious intent behind it. The only thing I can say on it is that I wish Bernard Parker a speedy recovery.”
