Chippa United could resume their Premiership campaign without the services of their new striker who joined from Orlando Pirates.
Eva Nga left Pirates during the January transfer window and made a return to Chippa, a club where he had scored 10 goals in all competitions during the 2021/22 campaign.

The Cameroonian forward is yet to receive his work permit and co-coaches Kwanele Kopo and Thabo September may have to put their trust in other strikers for Saturday's Premiership clash against Cape Town City at Buffalo City Stadium.
After losing Augustine Mulenga and Thabiso Lebitso who had left Chippa for AmaZulu and Pirates respectively during the January transfer window, the Chilli Boys are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that Nga has his work permit.
It's unclear at this stage if it will come in time for the clash against the Citizens.
Nga, who adds positive aggression for Chippa in the striking department, has signed a six month contract with the Eastern Cape outfit until the end of the campaign. His contract has an option to extend for one season.
