Kaizer Chiefs still have distinctly weak areas in their playing squad. To go with that, they’ve also got a dilemma with a fan favourite.
Kaizer Chiefs have two pressing issues to resolve
Lack of left-back depth
If you read the comment sections on social media, Kaizer Chiefs need to upgrade their existing left-back options of Bradley Cross, Nkanyiso Shinga and Paseka Mako. Who are their alternatives?
Sentimentality has taken over with Ngcobo
Nkosingiphile Ngcobo has been desperately unlucky with injuries in the past few campaigns. However, it seems as though the club is readying a deal for the talented 26-year-old. Does his track record warrant it?
Msimango is a goner
29-year-old central defender Given Msimango looks set to leave the club. Despite initially being a key pillar of the side after signing in 2023, the ex-TS Galaxy man has become a fringe operator. Inacio Miguel and even the now-departed Aden McCarthy moved ahead of him in the pecking order. Injuries also haven’t helped. He only made 10 league outings last season, and made a mere eight Betway Premiership appearances the season before. In 2023-24 he made 26 appearances, so it shows how his importance has waned.
