Kaizer Chiefs have to win to keep their MTN8 hopes alive. Now, they will have to do so without THREE players who have been suspended.
They play hosts to Polokwane City on Saturday, 18 May in what is their final home game of the season. Unfortunately, this trio of stars will play no part, as reported onBrandon Peterson, Pule Mmodi and Edmilson Dove will all have to sit out of Amakhosi’s crucial last home match of the season. Peterson was shown a red card from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Mmodi picked up a red card and Dove accumulated his fourth yellow of the season.
So, Cavin Johnson will have to find three suitable replacements. Bruce Bvuma could start in goal unless he opts to give Itumeleng Khune as a possible farewell match. His contract is set to expire at the end of the season which means this could be Khune’s last home match playing for Amakhosi having served the club for the last two decades. As things stand, the club does not want to extend his contract. However, they are considering offering him a role amongst the technical team.
Furthermore, Johnson has plenty of depth at the back with Given Msimango, Thatoyaone Ditlhokwe, Zitha Kwinika and Njabulo Ngcobo are capable of playing at the heart of defence for Chiefs. Finally, Mfundo Vilakazi, Samkelo Zwane even George Matlou could be given a chance to flourish.Chiefs are hanging onto eight place by a thread. Meaning, they are only just hanging on to the final MTN8 spot. Currently, just three points separate Amakhosi from 13th-placed Swallows FC in the.
