Kaizer Chiefs have four senior players returning to action. However, it’s not all good news on the injury front for the Glamour Boys.
Mixed bag on the injury front for Kaizer Chiefs
Bad news for Chiefs fans. Impressive new signing Langelihle Phili will miss around eight weeks with an ankle injury sustained in training. Thabiso Monyane, recently a fixture in the first team, will be out for four weeks. On the plus side, defensive quartet Bradley Cross, Paseka Mako, Kabelo Nkgwesa and Reeve Frosler are all nearing returns. Monyane has started the last two games in a new 352 system, so we might see Da Cruz revert to a back four and use Frosler in a more conventional right-back role.

What’s next for Kaizer Chiefs?
The Glamour Boys are, in the Betway Premiership at least, unbeaten this season. With eight points from 12 on offer, it’s been a solid, if unspectacular start for new boss Fernando Da Cruz. Next up is a home clash with Siwelele on Sunday, 6 September at 15:30. Chiefs will hope for slightly better weather than they endured in a 2-2 draw at Richards Bay. Goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, in particular, fell foul of it. The match with Siwelele will be on DSTV channel 202.
