Kaizer Chiefs have been handed a triple blow ahead of their Nedbank Cup last 16 clash against Casric Stars this weekend. Amakhosi are riding a wave of confidence after picking up back-to-back wins against Orlando Pirates and Richards Bay United, respectively.
However, Arthur Zwane’s goal of putting out a stable starting XI suffered a setback with the coach confirming that three players will be missing for the cup clash against their Motsepe Foundation Championship opponents on Sunday.
Zitha Kwinika and Ashley Du Preez are the two notable absentees for Zwane’s side with both players having been ruled out through injury. In addition, Amakhosi will also be without the services of striker Christian Saile Basomboli, who is suspended for the clash having picked up four yellow cards.
Good news for Chiefs, however, is the return to fitness of two key players in Dillan Solomons and Kamohelo Mahlatsi, who have been out of action with lengthy injuries for Zwanee’s side in recent times.
Chiefs will be looking to take advantage of their opponents’ misfortune as they take on Casric Stars at the FNB Stadium On Sunday afternoon. Kick off is at 18:00pm.
