Kaizer Chiefs rumours: Maboe, Leaner bust-up, Da Cruz’s failed experiment

Translate

James Freemantle

Today’s Kaizer Chiefs news wrap looks at upcoming fixtures, the latest on Lebohang Maboe’s fitness and more.

When will Maboe return for Kaizer Chiefs?

Playmaker Lebohang Maboe has two goals and two assists this season in the league. Without him, they look devoid of creativity. At 32, Maboe is hardly a spring chicken, but the club hasn’t clarified when he’ll return after an injury against Golden Arrows.

Fernando Da Cruz’s experiment fails again

Coach Fernando Da Cruz opted for a back four and a double midfield pivot of Reeve Frosler and Sibongiseni Mthethwa for Chiefs’ 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch, and persisted with that pairing against Red Arrows in a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round. Da Cruz’s hands are tied in some ways with Lebohang Maboe and Siphesihle Ndlovu out injured, but this combination clearly isn’t working.

Players clash after defeat to Red Arrows

The Glamour Boys have now drawn five of their last six Betway Premiership outings. They’ll aim to claw back a 1-0 deficit when they meet Red Arrows in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round clash on Friday, 23 October at 18:00. After that, it’s a meeting with Orlando Pirates on 31 October. There was reportedly a heated exchange between Reeve Frosler and Renaldo Leaner in the aftermath of the 0-1 defeat to Arrows.
