Leonardo Castro Set For Kaizer Chiefs Milestone

Leonardo Castro Set For Kaizer Chiefs Milestone

Kaizer Chiefs have provided a key update on a player who is set to make his 100th appearance for the club. 

Colombian striker Leonardo Castro has been out for the last couple of weeks with a broken nose, but Amakhosi have confirmed that the former Mamelodi Sundowns player will be available for selection when they take on Cape Town City at FNB Stadium on Wednesday, April 21.

It will be a special occasion should Castro get an opportunity to play against the Citizens. Another appearance would mean that Castro would have made 100 appearacnes in all competitions for the Soweto giants and coach Gavin Hunt would love to see the player finding the back of the net to mark this milestone in fine style.

Castro joined them from Sundowns in January 2018.

Hunt, meanwhile, said Amakhosi are targetting a top five finish. 

"We need to get ourselves up there into the top five. I believe we can, there's no doubt about it. We need to start this Wednesday against Cape Town City. They are one of the best teams in the league, but we have to do the job," Hunt is quoted as saying on the Amakhosi website.
