The long-term absence of SuperSport United's leading striker Bradley Grobler has confirmed every SuperSport United fan's worst nightmare.
As a result of a knock he suffered during the MTN8 quarterfinal against Orlando Pirates in August, the Tshwane side will start their Betway Premiership season without their talisman.
The team will not see him again until next year, when he will spend a significant amount of time on the sidelines.
On Tuesday 17 September, Hunt's side will face rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in the opening match of the league season with little experience up front.
As Hunt explained during the Betway Premiership launch last week, he had surgery on his groin. It will take time for him to return to the team.
After a decent career in which he has scored bucketloads of goals, this could be the former Platinum Stars man's last season.
Currently, the 36-year-old has scored 112 PSL goals and is closing in on Siyabonga Nomvethe's 123 goals.
Considering the 11 goals he scored last season, the veteran centre-forward will back himself to get as close as possible, but he will need to return sooner rather than later.
