Good news for Kaizer Chiefs as they welcome back key players

After four consecutive defeats, Amakhosi got back to winning ways following their 1-0 win over Durban City on Sunday.

The win saw them jump up to fifth in the Betway Premiership.

“This encounter promises to be a fierce battle as Chiefs are chasing a CAF qualification spot, while Magesi are fighting to escape the relegation zone quagmire,” the club’s media team confirmed.

“Chiefs will be boosted by the return of Sibongiseni Mthethwa and Aden McCarthy, both of whom missed Sunday’s match due to suspension.

“Their availability adds depth to a squad already strengthened by recent recoveries from injury.”

A win for Kaizer Chiefs this weekend could put them in third position, which is where they want to be at the end of the season. Qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup is what co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze are aiming for at the end of the season.

Amakhosi still have 10 matches to play and with good form, they can secure Top Eight finish with a few matches remaining. The ultimate goal is to finish the season on a high and qualify for CAF football.

Last season, Kaizer Chiefs entered the CAF Confederation Cup by winning the Nedbank Cup final. With the Glamour Boys out of this year’s competition, they will need to finish third to play CAF football next season.
