The latest Kaizer Chiefs injury news is bleak as they prepare for a tricky-looking Betway Premiership clash with Durban City.
Injury worries mount for Kaizer Chiefs at a critical juncture
Given Msimango, Mfundo Vilakazi, Inácio Miguel, Etiosa Ighodaro and Brandon Petersen are all out of Sunday’s match with Durban City at FNB Stadium. Now, according to reports, Nkanyiso Shinga and George Matlou will play no further part this season. To add insult to injury, Aden McCarthy and Sibongiseni Mthethwa are suspended for the upcoming clash with Pitso Dladla’s side.
Kaizer Chiefs’ fixtures for the remainder of 2025-26
Meanwhile, although a push for the title is out of the question, Chiefs can still make a serious play for the top three, which would represent continental football next season. The Glamour Boys can also have a major say as to who will be the eventual champions, as they face Sundowns and Pirates. Chiefs will need to turn around their current poor run of form to climb the table; they’ve lost four domestic matches on the bounce. Here’s what’s still to come:
- Sun, 15 Mar: Chiefs vs Durban City
- Sat, 21 Mar: Chiefs vs Magesi
- Tue, 7 Apr: Orbit College vs Chiefs
- Sun, 12 Apr: Chiefs vs TS Galaxy
- Wed, 15 Apr: Magesi vs Chiefs
- Sat, 18 Apr: Polokwane vs Chiefs
- Sat, 25 Apr: Pirates vs Chiefs
- Tue, 28 Apr: Siwelele vs Chiefs
- Wed, 6 May: Sundowns vs Chiefs
- Sun, 10 May: Sekhukhune vs Chiefs
- Sat, 16 May: AmaZulu vs Chiefs
- Sat, 23 May: Chiefs vs Chippa
Ngcobo is fighting for his Chiefs future
Ironically, midfield dynamo Nkosingiphile Ngcobo is one of the few players who isn’t currently sidelined by injury. The fan-favourite and academy talent is under fire for his failure to string together consistent performances over the years. One fan said he is ‘made of glass’, in an attempt to highlight his frustrating injury-proneness, something which has led to him not managing more than 16 appearances in any of the last five Betway Premiership campaigns. This seems to contradict his nickname ‘Mshini’ in ironic fashion. Although he’s currently in the picture, his long-term future is unclear.
