Stuart Baxter has revealed which Kaizer Chiefs players will not be able to take part in the Carling Black Label Cup due to injuries.
The game will take place on Sunday at Orlando Stadium and it will only be Baxter’s second game since returning to the Amakhosi dugout.

“Lebo Manyama, Leo Castro, are definitely out. (Dumisani) Zuma is out. A couple of players left us.
“Khama (Billiat) went down today with some sort of flew. We need to be careful and do all the Covid-19 tests.
“Siya (Ngezana) has gone down with a hamstring issue. Samir (Nurkovic), is also recovering from a knee injury.
“The list is long, there are a lot of players who won’t be included.”
