Chiefs Forced Into Striker Change?

Chiefs Forced Into Striker Change?

Tashreeq Morris warming up ahead of the clash against Mamelodi Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday, 1 March 2025.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi will have a big decision to make in his striking department with Tashreeq Morris a doubt for their Betway Premiership clash against rookies Magesi FC.   

Morris was taken off with an injury in Amakhosi's clash against Mamelodi Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium over the weekend, a match they lost 1-0.

The former Ajax Cape Town striker came off before the half-hour mark with what looked like a pulled muscle and the Siya crew understands that he may not be available to face Magesi at FNB Stadium tomorrow night.  

When Morris was stretchered off on Saturday, Ashley Du Preez came on as his replacement but did not finish the game, as he was also taken off for Ranga Chivaviro.  

Going into the match against Magesi, Nabi will need to decide between Du Preez and Chivaviro to start upfront, but January transfer window signing Glody Lilepo also gives the technical team an option of having him in that position. Lilepo has goals in him and his movements can cause problems for the opposition.  

Chiefs, meanwhile, still have Gaston Sirino out suspended for this clash, which means Mduduzi Shabalala is likely to get another chance to shine in the team.

After losing their last two matches in the league, Amakhosi have dropped down to eighth place and are in danger of falling further down if they don't get back to winning ways. The clash against Magesi gives them an opportunity to redeem themselves, but it won't be a walkover.
