Gaston Sirino decries Kaizer Chiefs' biggest handicap as Nasreddine Nabi and his men face defining moment in Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates - 'I think here there's no depth'

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Gaston Sirino feels Amakhosi lack depth in their squad.

While comparing the Soweto giants to Mamelodi Sundowns, Sirino believes Chiefs have struggled to replace injured players.

“I think here [at Chiefs] there's no...[depth]. At Sundowns, there are too many players, all good players... here, there's one injury and another player is also injured and the team is short,” Sirino said as per Sowetan Live.

“Sometimes [Inacio] Miguel or somebody [else] is injured, sometimes [Bradley] Cross [who's primarily a left-back] is playing centre-back [because of injuries to natural centre-backs] and at Sundowns, you won't see that because there's so many players but the quality here [at Chiefs] is also good."

As Sirino decries Amakhosi's lack of depth, it will be put to a stern test in Sunday's Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates.

This is a life and death assignment for Amakhlsi, who have not won a trophy in a decade.

Should they lift the Nedbank Cup, it would be a bright end to their troubled season and would appease their fans if they finish out of the top eight.

Amakhosi still have the likes of defenders Rushwin Dortley and Given Msimango injured, while Bradley Cross will be suspended for their next match.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi's one eye is on signing quality players and having depth for a side that is highly likely to play Caf Confederation Cup football next season.
