Kaizer Chiefs sweating injuries ahead of MTN 8 semi-final

Kaizer Chiefs have several injury concerns ahead of a return to competitive action in the MTN 8 semi-final on Sunday.

Arthur Zwane has revealed that he does not have a full complement of players to work with ahead of the first leg against Amazulu at the FNB Stadium.

Zwane said that Khama Billiat remains on the sidelines nursing a long-term injury and is joined by two players who sustained knocks in the Macufe Cup match against Royal AM in Bloemfontein.

Zwane is hoping for good news later this week but was delighted to welcome back Ashley Du Preez and Kgaogelo Sekgota unscathed from international duty.

We got a few knocks in Macufe, Sabelo Radebe… Happy did not train yesterday when we started, Khama is still doubtful, he also just started training yesterday,” said Zwane as per iDiski Times.

“When it comes to fitness, he’s [Billiat] still not sure. I think the rest of the guys will be available if nothing happens during the course of the preparations. 

“We’re looking forward to the game, we just hope that even those who are injured will be available by Friday because it will be matchday minus one and we want to be sure that we are ready for the game.”
