Kaizer Chiefs are facing a number of injuries ahead of their match against Sekhukhune United. The team will be without Ashley du Preez, Edson Castillo, and Gaston Sirino, while star defender Rushwin Dortley is also a major doubt. Dortley picked up an injury while away with the Bafana Bafana national team and his fitness will be assessed closer to the game. Chiefs assistant coach Youssef indicated that Dortley's return is uncertain.
'This week won’t be with us, and I can’t say when he will be fit as we are still waiting for the report from the medical team about his state,’ he said. 'When he came back from the national team, Bafana Bafana, he returned with an injury. So we are trying to manage and protest him. For this game, we don’t know yet if he will be with us or not. We are still waiting for the medical report.'Meanwhile, out-of-favor striker Christian Saile continues to be linked with a move away from Naturena. Chippa United and SuperSport United have both reportedly expressed interest in the 25-year-old Congolese forward, who has struggled to make a significant impact since his arrival from Nchanga Rangers in January 2023. Despite having seven goals and four assists in 56 appearances, Saile has received criticism from some fans, with one recently suggesting Chiefs would be lucky to receive R50 for him.The focus, however, remains on the upcoming match against Sekhukhune. Chiefs will be looking to continue their climb up the league table and will need to overcome the absence of key players to secure a victory.
