Kaizer Chiefs’ squad depth will be tested on Wednesday night in Limpopo. New captain Inacio Miguel will not be available.
KAIZER CHIEFS STAR INACIO MIGUEL SUSPENDED
The 28-year-old Angolian’s passion-aggressive style was clear from the start. With just four Betway Premiership matches played, Miguel has picked three yellows and will, therefore, miss the Magesi game due to suspension.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi is expected to select Given Msimango, Thatayaone Dithlokwe or Zitha Kwinika to partner with Rushwin Dortley in central defence.
WHY NASREDDINE NABI HAS DROPPED YUSUF MAART
Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi began with a consistent line-up in the first three games, before making a change in the past two matches.
Following the past two matches against SuperSport United in the Carling Knockout and in the Betway Premiership, the Tunisian coach surprisingly dropped his captain Maart from the line-up.
“We believe that Yusuf Maart has been playing since the beginning of the league and the cup games,” said Nabi at the post-match conference.
“We thought that today was a good game to make him rest and to give Castillo a chance to start because against Sundowns he was good and the 20 minutes that he played in the last game he played against SuperSport was good.
We wanted to give him that continuity.”
NJABULO BLOM
“About Blom, it’s a matter of fitness conditions, which has been improving since he arrived,” he added.
“You can even see that he’s starting to pick up. He’s a player that we believe can help because of his experience and everything,” the Kaizer Chiefs tactician concluded.
Meanwhile, Amakhosi are linked with three PSL wingers in January.
