Chiefs provide injury update ahead of Soweto Derby

Kaizer Chiefs have provided injury updates ahead of Saturday’s DStv Premiership Soweto Derby clash against Swallows FC.

Amakhosi will welcome their arch-rivals Maswaiswai at FNB Stadium for the final match of the 2021/22 campaign. The kick-off is at 15:00 in the afternoon.

Arthur Zwane’s side will be without six of their key players due to several injuries.

The six are Sifiso Hlanti, Lebogang Manyama, Keegan Dolly, Leonardo Castro, Samir Nurković and Siyabonga Ngezana.

On a positive note, the Glamour Boys will welcome back midfielder Phathutshedzo Nange from suspension. Still, they will be unhappy to lose his fellow midfielder Cole Alexander who received his fourth yellow card on Saturday in their 1-0 win over Sekhukhune United.

Meanwhile, Kgaogelo Sekgota, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Sabelo Radebe are recovering from illnesses.

Chiefs will go into the season’s swansong guns blazing following their recent run of form in the last three games. In contrast, the Dube Birds will be hoping to secure a much-needed victory to avoid the relegation. They are currently placed 15th on the log standings with 25 points, equal on points with Baroka, who are languishing at the basement of the table.
