Striker Crisis Looming For Kaizer Chiefs?

Striker Crisis Looming For Kaizer Chiefs?

A potential striker crisis could be looming for Kaizer Chiefs head coach Molefi Ntseki ahead of their next match against AmaZulu this weekend.

Ntseki was without his main striker Ashley Du Preez in the club's 1-0 loss to TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday. The speedster was suffering with a bout of flu, according to the club's website.

His replacement in the starting XI, Ranga Chivaviro, hobbled off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, which on average could take a few weeks to recover from.

This saw Christian Saile used as a striker, but the DR Congo man has shown that he is more effective coming in from the wing where his pace can cause opposition defences problems.

Sign In

Effectively, Chiefs have one recognised striker available, 19-year-old Wandile Duba, who is yet to taste any action this week.

There could be a boost for Ntseki ahead of the Usuthu game however, with Efmamjjasond Gonzales expected to make his way to South Africa this week, having played his farewell game for Real Santa Cruz against Oriente Petrolero.

Chiefs will be hoping to have Du Preez back in time to face the KZN outfit, while it remains to be seen if their new Columbian recruit manages to make the matchday squad.
