Kaizer Chiefs Explain Bruce Bvuma and Leonardo Castro's Absence From CAF Champions League Tie

Injured: Bruce Bvuma

Kaizer Chiefs have explained why Bruce Bvuma and Leonardo Castro did not make the matchday squad to face Wydad Casablanca on Saturday evening.

Scroll through the gallery above to see the players missing from the Chiefs squad.

However, the club have confirmed Bvuma and Castro have joined the club's injury while some of the staff members will not be on the bench as they are insolation after coming into contact with people who contracted Covid-19.

"Amakhosi have been forced to make changes to the line-up and the bench due to injuries after an extended season. As a precautionary measure, the Club has also decided to put some of the staff and team members in isolation after coming into contact with people affected by Covid-19," the club announced on their website.

"Notable changes in the starting XI are in the goalkeeping department with Bruce Bvuma who was last week's man of the match being replaced by Daniel Akpeyi. Another change is in the striking force with Leonardo Castro out due to a hamstring. He will be replaced Nkosingiphile Ngcobo. They join the injury list that has Lebogang Manyama who is still out with a knee injury, Khama Billiat and Dumsani Zuma.

"In the technical area, Coach Arthur Zwane will work with Head of Technical Molefi Ntseki on the bench for this game."
