Zwane Identifies ‘Top Class’ Caleb Bimenyimana Replacement

With the league's top goal scorer Caleb Bimenyimana suffering yet another injury, Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has revealed the top-class player he could use to replace him.

The Burundian international was on the scoresheet once again for Chiefs in their 2-0 win over Lamontville Golden Arrows on Saturday, taking his total to seven goals this season, one ahead of his closest competitors in Bradley Grobler and Peter Shalulile.

However, the lanky striker hobbled off in the second half of the match, and is a doubt for Chiefs next fixture against Sekhukhune United.

"Look I'm happy for him, that is what strikers are supposed to do. The game today has evolved where you are no longer sitting with strikers that are sitting and always waiting. You have to get players that can break the lines, open spaces for other to exploit, but [he must] be very good in holding the ball and knowing when to turn and how to lay the ball to others to finish," Zwane told journalists of his star striker. "So, I think he scored a great goal from great movement, that's what we usually do anyway, and we want to perfect it, polish it and be better at it. So, I'm happy for him and other players who helped him to play well. For me, the overall performance of Caleb was good, though as a striker I expected more."

With Caleb an injury concern for Saturday's encounter, Zwane says he will not hesitate to throw in young striker Wandile Duba, who was promoted from the club' reserves this season.

"I'm not worried about his injury right now, if he is injured, we'll play the young man Wandi [Wandile Duba], he's got the potential to score goals, so we have no fear. As you could have seen, when he went in there, he showed he was fearless but obviously he made mistakes here and there but make no mistake, he is a top-class player and he is going places that young man, so I don't have worries, Mduduzi [Shabalala] came in, so we'll improvise and come up with a plan," he added.
