Cavin Johnson will pick a Kaizer Chiefs team without Given Msimango as they host TS Galaxy in the DStv Premiership on Tuesday night at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO PLAY WITHOUT GIVEN MSIMANGO
Remember what happened last week when Amakhosi hosted Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium? The score was 5-1 to Kabo Yellow and they won a record consecutive DStv Premiership title. More so, Kaizer Chiefs lost their defender and captain, Msimango, when he was shown a red card. This means that the 27-year-old from Brakpan, Gauteng will be out for the next three games.
So who will coach Johnson look to?
Options in central defence:
- Edmilson Dove
- Njabulo Ngcobo
- Thatayaone Ditlhokwe
- Zitha Kwinika.
