Kaizer Chiefs suffer Inacio Miguel setback ahead of Orbit College clash

Kaizer Chiefs will be without captain Inacio Miguel during their upcoming league match against Orbit College when they will be looking to make it back-to-back PSL wins.

Miguel made a return to the squad for Chiefs’ 1-0 win over Durban City on Friday, when Flavio Silva headed in late to end their two-month wait for a PSL victory, having been injured for the CAF Confederation Cup win over Congolese side AS Simba.

The Angolan international will be suspended for the match after accumulating four yellow cards, having been booked on the stroke of halftime during Friday’s encounter.

Miguel part of an improved Chiefs defence

Miguel has been an integral part of a Chiefs’ defence that has kept seven clean sheets in 10 league games, conceding five goals, the joint second best alongside Sekhukhune United, and only bettered by rivals Orlando Pirates, who have let in four.

His absence will therefore be felt but it will be an opportunity for Aden McCarthy to make a return to the squad as he will likely partner Zitha Kwainika in the league encounter at FNB Stadium.

Miguel has played 13 games this season, including all 10 PSL matches, and his performances and leadership have helped improve a Chiefs defence that let in many goals this season.

The Glamour Boys have only been let down by their inability to score goals but they are still not far off as they sit fourth on the table with 19 points, three behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have played one game more.
