Kaizer Chiefs players ruled out of the Golden Arrows clash

Kaizer Chiefs will be without some key players when they take on Golden Arrows on Saturday afternoon at the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale.

Amakhosi are looking to return to winning ways after suffering a shock 1-0 defeat against AmaZulu in the Carling Knockout Cup last weekend.

Kaizer Chiefs have now appointed Cavin Johnson as interim coach.

KAIZER CHIEFS SET TO MISS DU PREEZ

The former Platinum Stars coach has confirmed that striker Ashley du Preez won’t be available against Arrows.

“Unfortunately for us, there is the unavailability of (Edmilson) Dove, who came from the national team, he has a groin injury. (Siyethemba) Sithebe has still not recovered from the injury he sustained at training three weeks ago. We also have Ashley (du Preez) out, who also injured himself just before the last game,” said Johnson.

“The other guys are all fit, there’s no major injury we are really worried about. Looking at where they come from and how they responded to our reaction, we have very good players available tomorrow.”

Kaizer Chiefs have only won three games out of their nine league encounter so far this season and are desperate for three points.

A win for Amakhosi could see them jump to fifth on the log.
