Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz remains confident his team can overcome the midfield injury crisis ahead of their league match against Stellenbosch FC. The Amakhosi squad faces challenges with key players unavailable, including Lebohang Maboe, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Adolf Mtasingwa, and Langelihle Phili. Goalkeeper also faces uncertainty as the team prepares for the match at the FNB Stadium.
Da Cruz emphasized the importance of the upcoming game, noting the team has used the FIFA break to prepare thoroughly. The coach is hopeful the squad can adapt to the current circumstances and secure maximum points. The starting line-up remains under review, with focus on finding a suitable replacement for Maboe, who is among those sidelined.
This situation follows a period of instability for the club, with multiple injuries affecting the midfield. Former defender Mokete Tsotetsi expressed belief that the team still has capable players to deliver positive results. The match against Stellenbosch is seen as a critical test for the squad’s resilience and adaptability. The outcome could have significant implications for the league standings.
