Struggling Chiefs confirm injury blow ahead of Simba duel

Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed a massive injury blow less just two days before they play AS Simba this weekend.

The Glamour Boy will host the Democratic Republic of Congo outfit at the Dobsonville Stadium, hoping to seal progress to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. The first leg of the second preliminary round staged at the TP Mazembe Stadium in Lubumbashi ended goalless.

However, Amakhosi will now have to do without the services of Khanyisa Mayo who was stretchered off after sustaining a hamstring injury on Wednesday in the Premier Soccer League outing against Siwelele that ended goalless.

Co-coach Cedric Kaze has further shared the latest news regarding the availability of Inacio Miguel, Ethan Chislett, Given Msimango, Flavio Da Silva and Paseka Mako.

“The thing that we are sure until now is that Mayo is out for this game after suffering hamstring injury on our last game,” Kaze told the media.

“We are still need to manage and make some additional tests for Miguel who’s injured at halftime against Siwelele. We will assess him today and tomorrow to see if he can feature, we are optimistic for him.

“Other than that, Ethan is still not fully fit. He started training with the group but without contact. Given has already had one week of training with the group after six months out of the field.

“Mako is still unavailable but the rest of the team are still doing good. Flavio [Da Silva] has been training with the group for the last 10 days and we’re pretty sure he’s good to go now,” he concluded.

The CAF inter-club game will be played on Sunday.
