Kaizer Chiefs' injury woes worsen as Gaston Sirino & Brandon Petersen are sidelined ahead of TS Galaxy match

Chiefs have been struggling for consistency since winning their opening two Premier Soccer League games at the beginning of the season.

They have won just once in the last six league outings, and just once in the last three outings.

The aforementioned games were staged in Polokwane; the Glamour Boys defeated Richards Bay 2-1, and threw a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Royal AM before falling 2-0 to Polokwane City in their latest outing.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi will welcome Reeve Frosler who was sent off against the Natal Rich Boys for two bookable offenses.

His replacement, Dillan Solomons was injured in the 2-2 draw with Royal AM, while Gaston Sirino and Brandon Petersen suffered injuries alongside Bradley Cross in the match against Rise and Shine.

Ahead of the Monday game against the Rockets, Amakhosi will now have to do without six players as confirmed by their media team.

"Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi will be without six influential players for their upcoming [PSL] clash against TS Galaxy on Monday," Amakhosi said in a statement.

"The injured players include midfielders Edson Castillo, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, and Gaston Sirino, defenders Dillan Solomons and Bradley Cross, as well as goalkeeper Brandon Petersen.

"The players sustained their injuries in various matches but are expected to return to action soon."

With Edmilson Dove and Bongani Sam not fully fit, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe might do the duty at left-back while Bruce Bvuma might make his competitive start this season since the club has not confirmed whether Fiacre Ntwari is fit.

A win for Amakhosi is vital for them to boost their chances of finishing in the top positions by the end of the season.
