A BOOKING AWAY FROM A SUSPENSION PIRATES PLAYERS
Bandile Shandu, Miguel Timm, Sipho Chaine, Tapelo Xoki, and Thabang Monare are all subject to an automatic suspension with just one yellow card remaining. Following their disappointing 1-1 draw with Swallows and loss to Sekhukhune, Jose Riveiro’s team is no longer in control of their fate in the quest for second place in the league. Additionally, following his red card against the Dube Birds at stoppage time last time out, Nkosinathi Sibisi will not play for the Sea Robbers versus Golden Arrows.
Amakhosi have just eight games left in their DStv Premiership campaign, and they will have to work extremely hard to place in the top eight and earn a spot in the MTN8 for the following season. Next, they take against Chippa and despite reports that Darrel Matsheke was extending his Stellenbosch contract, the Orlando Pirates pursued a deal for the former star of the Kaizer Chiefs in March. But since then, the player and the Cape Winelands side have broken up. Soccer-Laduma claims that the Buccaneers are now off guard as a result.
“When Matsheke was a player for Stellenbosch, Pirates showed interest in him. However, the move is now unlikely to occur after he was freed from Stellenbosch in the manner that it did, according to a source close to the magazine.
It’s thought that Kaizer Chiefs have decided how to use one of their strikers going forward for the upcoming campaign.
Prior to the upcoming season, it is thought that the Chiefs have already begun selecting and working on player targets.
The recruitment of a striker by the end of the season would be Chiefs’ top priority, according to a story published by this magazine last month. Given that the team added Jason Gonzales and Ranga Chivaviro at the start of the season, that may come as a surprise. Unfortunately, neither of them has yet had the expected impact, nor has the club management.
For the Chiefs, Chivaviro has only scored two goals thus far. But those are two more than Gonzalez, another recent addition to the striker lineup who hasn’t scored yet. Despite arriving in the nation with a stellar goal-scoring record, the Colombian has encountered difficulties. In his 13 games with Amakhosi, he has failed to find the back of the net.
“Real Santa Cruz is pushing for Gonzalez’s early return because they suffered without the gangly Colombian, who was their top scorer last season. There are also rumors circulating from South America that a possible transfer to a European team that was discussed before to his arrival at Naturena may be considered again. Compared to what the Chiefs offered, the European options in Belgium and Greece came with less money. wrote the article for the publication.
