Kaizer Chiefs will be without one of their standout players for their upcoming match against AmaZulu on Tuesday, following a tough defeat to Orlando Pirates over the weekend.

Recent Loss Leaves Chiefs Seeking a Bounce Back

The match, which saw Chiefs go head-to-head with their rivals Orlando Pirates, ended in a 1-0 loss for the Soweto-based team.

With 21 points from 15 games, Amakhosi remains in fifth place on the league table.

In contrast, AmaZulu, who have played the same number of matches, sit in ninth place with 19 points.

Now, Chiefs are turning their attention to their next game, hoping to recover from their recent loss and secure a win against AmaZulu.

Njabulo Blom Suspended for Upcoming Match

One significant setback for Kaizer Chiefs is the suspension of Njabulo Blom, who had a strong performance in the Soweto derby.

The 25-year-old right-back will miss Tuesday’s match after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season.

Blom had done a commendable job of defending against Pirates’ Relebohile Mofokeng for much of the match, but ultimately, Mofokeng’s skill led to a penalty that was converted by Patrick Maswanganyi, handing the Buccaneers all three points.

Changes Expected in Kaizer Chiefs’ Lineup

With Blom unavailable, coach Nasreddine Nabi will likely make several changes to his lineup ahead of the clash against AmaZulu.

New signing Tashreeq Morris is expected to return from suspension, while Thabo Cele and Makabi Lilepo, who made their debuts during the derby, will likely be given another chance to prove themselves, despite not making much impact in the last game.

Kaizer Chiefs Eyeing Three Points Against AmaZulu

Amakhosi will be aiming for a win when they face AmaZulu at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday at 19:30 in their Betway Premiership match.

The team will be looking to secure all three points to strengthen their position on the table, with upcoming matches against Stellenbosch, SuperSport United, and Mamelodi Sundowns on the horizon.b
