Kaizer Chiefs news wrap: Six-week injury confirmed, Duba blow

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Who else is set for time on the treatment table?

Kaizer Chiefs confirm injuries to Petersen and Duba

Goalkeeper Brandon Petersen picked up a knee injury in training and will miss up to six weeks. Meanwhile, striker Wandile Duba will miss up to two weeks with a hip and groin issue. The timing isn’t the worst, seeing as there’s an international break on the horizon. Duba has three goals from four Betway Premiership outings this term. His strike rate of 75% makes him the most clinical finisher at the club right now.

Predicted Chiefs XI: Leaner; Kwinika, Moloisane, Cross; Frosler, Ndlovu, Maboe, Mmodi; Baartman, Ighodaro, Vilakazi.
