New Faces in the Chiefs’ Squad

Kaizer Chiefs has welcomed a fresh wave of senior players into their squad .

With new faces, including some key figures, the team is shaping up for an exciting phase.

Among these players, there’s one who has been grabbing attention as a potential leader.

So, who’s this ‘sheriff’, and can he help the team find success?

The ‘Sheriff’ Is Here

Thabo Cele, who hails from KwaMashu, recently shared a post on Instagram about Inacio Miguel, the team’s standout defender.

He added the word “Xerife” to his caption, which means ‘sheriff’ in Portuguese—something both players speak fluently.

Miguel, a steady presence in Chiefs’ defense, has become a vital part of the team under coach Nasreddine Nabi.

He’s paired up with the 22-year-old Rushwin Dortley, forming a solid duo at the back.

Although Miguel has faced a couple of suspensions, he’s also had the honor of captaining the team when Yusuf Maart wasn’t available.

Changes in the Line-Up

Speaking of Maart, he’s serving a suspension for the upcoming Round of 16 Nedbank Cup match against Chippa.

This opens the door for Njabulo Blom, who’s been a regular on the bench, to potentially step into the starting lineup.

Blom made a brief appearance in Chiefs’ recent 1-0 win against Stellenbosch.

Thabo Cele is also expected to keep his spot in the midfield, and Mduduzi Shabalala is likely to start after coming off the bench in the Stellies game.

Predicted Starting XI for Chiefs vs Chippa:

Bvuma; Frosler, Miguel, Dortley, Ditlhokwe; Cele, Blom; Lilepo, Shabalala, Sirino; Morris.

A Potential New Addition: Feisal Salum

Another name making waves is Feisal Salum, the 27-year-old attacking midfielder from Azam FC in Tanzania.

He’s reportedly decided not to extend his contract with his current club, which means he could be available on a free transfer.

However, his potential move to Kaizer Chiefs is complicated by the fact that he would come with high wages and a significant signing-on fee.

Still, his link to Chiefs has been strong, and many fans are eager to see if the move will happen.

Will Chiefs Make It to the Final Eight?

As Chiefs gear up for the next stage of the competition, questions linger about their chances.

Will they secure a spot in the final eight? Fans are keeping an eye on how the team shapes up, especially with the fresh talent joining the ranks.

What do you think? What’s your predicted lineup for the next match?
