Kaizer Chiefs' injury woes continue but Nasreddine Nabi confident they have good squad depth - 'We have full faith in the players'

Kaizer Chiefs are struggling with a growing injury list that includes senior players such as Gaston Sirino, Brandon Petersen, Dillon Solomons, Dove Edmilson, Edson Castillo, and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo.

This has affected their performance, with the club failing to secure a win in their last three matches and currently sitting in ninth place.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi addressed the issue, emphasizing trust in the available squad members to rise to the occasion.

Chiefs have been inconsistent this season, with injury woes compounding their problems.

Nabi remains optimistic that his squad can adapt and deliver strong performances despite the challenges.

The coach believes togetherness within the team will help them weather this difficult period.

“We have a few injuries but that is why a top team needs to have a big squad of quality players,” he told the club’s media team as reported by iDiski Times.

“We have full faith in the players that are ready to step in and perform at a high level.

“We believe the collective togetherness within the squad will help the team no matter which players are in the line-up.”

Chiefs have faced a frustratingly inconsistent league season, with recent results leaving them outside the top eight.

Injuries to key players have added to the challenge, but the club has one game remaining this year to turn the tide.

A win in that match could provide momentum heading into the new year.

The upcoming January transfer window offers a chance for Chiefs to strengthen their squad and address critical gaps.

Nabi’s faith in his players will be tested as they seek to salvage their campaign.

Reinforcements may prove essential to improving their league standing in 2025.

Chiefs are preparing to take on Chippa United in Durban on December 29, in what is a must-win game.

A victory will be critical to lifting team morale and helping the club climb the table before the new year.

Chippa, who have been impressive this season, will pose a tough challenge, but Amakhosi must rise to the occasion.

Nabi will need his available players to give their all as the injury crisis continues.

With a win, the Glamour Boys could end 2024 on a positive note, giving fans hope for a stronger start in 2025.
