“Playing in front of a crowd of 20-25‚000 is always great for the players‚ the club and everybody involved.'
Chiefs were well-beaten in their Telkom Knockout semifinal against Maritzburg United on Sunday‚ with the 2-1 scoreline flattering them‚ but Barker believes the expected return of key players will provide a major lift for the team chasing a first league title in five years.
Only centre-back Erick Mathoho remains suspended and Barker says the returnees will give Chiefs a massive lift.“They were missing Akpeyi‚ Katsande‚ Billiat … Ngezana could not play because he had just come back from the Under-23s. You add those players to that team‚ I am sure it will refresh them. “Playing in front of a crowd of 20-25‚000 is always great for the players‚ the club and everybody involved. It does gee up the players and we are looking forward to it.
Stellenbosch will be without suspended former Chiefs defender Morgan Gould‚ a blow to them in terms of experience‚ as well as forward Ashley du Preez‚ who is carrying a knock.
