Headache For Zwane As Chiefs' Key Defender Sidelined

Headache For Zwane As Chiefs' Key Defender Sidelined

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane faces a selection headache as his most used player has been sidelined for their next DStv Premiership fixture away to Stellenbosch FC this weekend. 

Zitha Kwinika went into their match against Swallows FC on Wednesday night walking a tightrope on three yellow cards, so if he invited the referee to book him, he'd have to sit out one game.

He was cautioned around the 30-minute mark in their 2-1 win over Swallows, who are rooted to the bottom of the table having collected just two wins in their opening nine matches.

Amakhosi moved up to fifth place on the table and are now desperately trying to maintain their winning ways, having not tasted defeat in their last six matches in all competition.

Kwinika will be serving a one-match suspension when the Glamour Boys visit his former side for the second time in quick succession having already faced each other in the MTN8 quarter-finals late in August.

The first match the defender will miss for Chiefs this season.

It now remains to be seen who will fill Kwinika's role on the left side of central defence for Chiefs with Eric Mathoho, Siyabonga Ngezana and Austin Dube, who predominantly plays on the left as possible options for coach Arthur Zwane.
