Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has revealed that new striker Christian Saile Basomboli will start on the bench against Royal AM.
Saile, 22, was cleared to travel with his new side to Polokwane after receiving his work permit.
However, Zwane, who has high hopes for the striker from Nchanga Rangers, has stated that he doesn’t want to throw his new player into the deep end on Sunday.
“We will have Christian available, though we will start him on the bench and give him a chance to adapt,” he told the club’s media team.
“He looks fresh. The good thing is that he has been playing. He doesn’t come from a situation where we still have to manage him but we don’t want to put him under pressure.
“We want him to learn from others a little bit so that when he goes in there, he goes in with confidence to try and help us solve our problem of scoring goals.”
Zwane also previewed his side’s clash against Royal AM, whom they have lost the last three league games against.
“Royal AM is a difficult team to play against,” he added.
“Every game is always a new game with new strategies and it will be a different ball game altogether.
“They have a coach who has been with them for a long time and their playing personnel is more or less the same. We will try and deal with whatever they are going to throw at us.”
Chiefs take on Royal AM at the Peter Mokoba Stadium on the club’s first return to Polokwane in eight years.
