Matlou’s Chiefs Future In Doubt?

Matlou’s Chiefs Future In Doubt?

The Siya crew has been led to believe that Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Matlou will reassess his future with the club at the end of the season.

He is one of the newest additions to the Glamour Boys, having arrived at the start of the campaign from Soweto rivals Swallows FC, where he only spent a year.

Matlou is understood to have come highly recommended by Amakhosi assistant coach Dillon Sheppard, who previously worked with the former junior international in the academy set-up at the now-defunct Bidvest Wits.

With Chiefs making sweeping changes to the team following the decision to sack Stuart Baxter and install Arthur Zwane as head coach on a three-year contract, Matlou was identified as one of the players that would bring energy to the side.

But he's hardly played. The 24-year-old has so far managed 11 appearances from all competitions and was named in the starting line-up on five occasions, which raises concerns.

Although Matlou has battled minor injuries now and again during the season, Zwane has not mentioned him as a key player he has desperately missed from the team and his limited game-time is evidence enough.

Matlou is contracted to the Soweto giants until June next year, and with the campaign coming to an end, it is expected that the hierarchy will reevaluate the squad.

Siya sources have suggested that the midfielder appears to be lower down the pecking order and could be sacrificed should Chiefs, who are understood to be looking for a central midfielder, decide to make room for new faces. 

Should Matlou move on from the Glamour Boys? Let us know in the comments below!
