Kaizer Chiefs should be gearing up to collect points as they aim to finish in the top two to secure the CAF Champions League spot. However, they dropped two points yesterday in a 0-0 draw against Cape Town City.
Following their exit in the Nedbank Cup 2022 over the past weekend, the only trophy that they can still win this season mathematically is the league, however, they would have to close a 19 point gap between them and log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Amakhosi seemed to miss Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in their goalless stalemate with The Citizens.
Baxter revealed the reason behind his absence, “We changed our shape because we were looking at how Cape Town City set up. We thought playing with extreme width – Reeve (Frosler) and Rama (Mphahlele) – would be better. We changed personnel as we wanted a little bit of fresh legs. Mshini (Ngcobo) has got a bacterial infection, so he couldn’t play,” SuperSport was told.
The next league fixture for the Glamour Boys will take place on 26 February away against Baroka.
