Kaze provides Kaizer Chiefs injury update
Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze sounds hopeful that Ethan Chislett could debut against Usuthu on Wednesday night.
“Ighodaro is injured, but the medical department promised us [his imminent return]. He started this week to train with the group without contact,” Kaze said as per iDiski Times.
“We hope after the international break, he will be ready to go. If I’m not mistaken, Mayo won’t be able to play until the group stage, Ighodaro until the group stage, Maboe as well – but we have other players available, and will help the team.”.
“The likes of Mako, Monyane, who were injured. Ndlovu as well – Ethan will be available for selection [in the next round of the Betway Premiership],” he added.
