Home games only: Kaizer Chiefs November Fixtures
We can’t say November will be an eventful month for Kaizer Chiefs. Amakhosi will only have two matches, thanks to their Carling Knockout exit and the FIFA International break.
KAIZER CHIEFS FIXTURES SCHEDULE
This week will only see Betway Premiership’s CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup clubs playing local fixtures. The weekend will then allow the Carling Knockout semifinals to take centre stage before two weeks of Bafana Bafana action.
Kaizer Chiefs will, therefore, return to action on the 27th before another match on the 30th. This means that the Soweto Giants will only play two matches this month.
- 27 November: Kaizer Chiefs vs Richards Bay – Peter Mokaba Stadium.
- 30 November: Kaizer Chiefs vs Royal AM – FNB Stadium.
CARLING KNOCKOUT: KAIZER CHIEFS 0-4 MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Kaizer Chiefs had a night to forget last Saturday. Amakhosi are out of the Carling Knockout after an annihilation from Mamelodi Sundowns. Coach Nasreddine Nabi has since apologised.
In what was a massive quarter-final game at the FNB Stadium, Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners hit a quick brace, followed by goals from Peter Shalulile and Khuliso Mudau.
NASREDDINE NABI APOLOGY
Speaking to SuperSport TV after the game, the Tunisian coach apologised to the Kaizer Chiefs supporters before promising to improve.
“I would like to apologise to the supporters of Kaizer Chiefs for today. I am sorry,” he said.
“Nothing worked today. From the back line to the last line. We tried to fight. Tough lesson. We need to lift our players again. Back to the training pitch,” Nabi concluded.
KAIZER CHIEFS UPDATES ON INJURIES
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs are moving closer to welcoming back a trio of injured players.
Speaking to the media before Saturday’s Carling Knockout quarterfinals battle against Mamelodi Sundowns, coach Nabi said Amakhosi have to be careful with rushing George Matlou, Mduduzi Mdantsane and Tebogo Potsane.
“It’s true they’ve been injured for quite some time. All three are done with rehabilitation and are currently training with the group,” Nabi said via FARPost.
“They’ve joined the group and are training. But we need to be very careful how we integrate them into official matches.
“For example, George has been out for over a year; we need to give him time to train. We need to give them time to participate in friendly games and bring back connection with the teammates before we can think of incorporating them in official matches,” concluded the Kaizer Chiefs mentor.
