Kaizer Chiefs star suspended for two matches

Kaizer Chiefs star suspended for two matches

Kaizer Chiefs will be without an effective defender for their upcoming Betway Premiership matches against Richards Bay and Royal AM.

Miguel walked on the board against Sundowns

Inacio Miguel will miss Chiefs’ next two games in the Betway Premiership SNL. The 28-year-old Angolan player received a direct red card against Mamelodi Sundowns in the 56th minute of Amakhosi’s 4-0 win.

Msimango steps in to replace Miguel

Nasreddine Nabi’s team selections in the Betway Premiership make it clear that his preferred central defensive duo is Rushwin Dortley and Inacio Miguel. The pair started Chiefs’ first four league matches together; Msimango drew 2-2 with Magesi due to Miguel being suspended for collecting a yellow card. Now, Msimango has another chance, following a recent two-game suspension following Angola’s sending off against Sundowns in the Carling Knockout. Will he step forward and get it? If he doesn’t, his days at Naturena may be numbered.

When is Kaizer Chiefs’ next match?

It will take some time. The Glamor Boys must wait until November 27 for their next match against Richards Bay. Considering that Msimango should replace Miguel at the heart of the defense in this match.

Chiefs’ five final appearances in 2024

After a strong start, the Glamor Boys dropped valuable points in their last league encounter. They lost 1-0 to SuperSport and could only draw 2-2 with new players Magesi. That was before they were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Knockout by Sundowns in a demoralizing 4-0 defeat.

  • Chiefs vs Richards Bay: Wednesday 27 November, 19:30
  • Chiefs vs Royal AM: Saturday, November 30, 17:30
  • Polokwane vs Chiefs: Sunday 08 December, 15:30
  • TS Galaxy vs Chiefs: Monday, December 16, 15:30
  • Chiefs vs Chippa: Sunday, December 29, 17:30

Pressure increases on Nabi

Kaizer Chiefs’ long wait for silverware continues after a 0-4 score against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout quarter-final. The Glamor Boys are a long time away from resuming their Betway Premiership campaign; Next up is a visit to Richards Bay on 27 November. Only five league matches remain in the 2024 calendar year. The Amakhosi board has had little hesitation in sacking managers in recent seasons and the new manager may have started to worry about his job before the turn of the year.
