Kaizer Chiefs share injury updates ahead of Swallows clash

Kaizer Chiefs are coming off the back of a nightmare defeat to minnows Milford FC, which has ramped up the pressure on the team after returning from the Afcon break.

Amakhosi are unbeaten in five successive DStv Premiership, and this weekend’s clash against Swallows will be seen as a must-win.

KAIZER CHIEFS OFFER INJURY UPDATE

Importantly, interim coach Cavin Johnson has confirmed that there are no new injury concerns of note, but Tebogo Potsane, George Matlou and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe are still sidelined.

“Everybody is available except that Potsane has a little hernia injury,” he said, when asked by iDiski Times. “George is still out, just recovering from operations. TT is still recovering as well.”

NO MORE EXCUSES

The match between Chiefs and Swallows kicks off at 17:45 at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

“Redemption is probably a good word for our team,” Johnson added. “We’ve prepared well, the boys have not taken the loss against Milford easily and we are preparing as we speak to make sure that we do our best (to bounce back).

“We have to pick ourselves up because the next game is sooner than you think, there is no space in between to lay your head down for long.

“As football people, as athletes they have to pick themselves quicker up than you think and we have to help them get their so that we can prepare for the next league game.”
