SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has questioned Luke Fleurs’ trials at Kaizer Chiefs.
The 23-year-old former Ubuntu centre-back joined Matsatsantsa in 2018.
He went on to play 70 times for the club, scoring two goals.
He saw his game time limited last season and faced the prospect of being further sidelined this term following the arrival of Siyanda Xulu.
Fleurs was ultimately allowed to leave SuperSport and has been spotted training with Amakhosi in recent days, despite still being injured.
Hunt told SABC Sport: “I think he’d been injured for the last month or so. Well, pretty much most of [the season], from the start of even pre-season, he didn’t do much.
"He didn’t train for well over a month and then he went and trained the next day at another club.”

“So, he missed a lot. I don’t understand how he can go on trial today when he was injured yesterday, I don’t know how it works.”
Hunt added: “I was quite happy for him to stay, but obviously he wasn’t partaking and the club felt that we’ve got four centre-backs now if he wasn’t happy; I wasn’t party to the agreements, and what actually happened in the meeting.
“I didn’t have one meeting with him in terms of sitting with the agent or the CEO [Stan Matthews], it was all done by them, so I’m not [aware] of what actually went down, and that’s the truth.”
