Daniel Cardoso admits centreback might be a tricky position to fill for Kaizer Chiefs in the absence of his rejuvenated central partner Erick Mathoho in Amakhosi’s Telkom Knockout semifinal against Maritzburg United on Sunday.
Chiefs‚ desperate for a cup final place so they can challenge for silverware after four seasons without a trophy‚ have three key players suspended for Sunday’s cup tie at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
The Bafana Bafana centreback was red-carded at the end of Amakhosi’s thrilling 3-2 league Soweto derby win against Orlando Pirates in their last match. Cardoso said Chiefs have shown this season they have depth‚ so should be able to absorb the absences. “And partnering for centreback is a bit of a tricky one. There is Yagan Sasman – he’s played centreback‚ he’s a left-sided fullback.
