Kaizer Chiefs star Inacio Miguel is a popular figure with fans, but his disciplinary record could cost the club in upcoming fixtures.
Miguel to miss key Kaizer Chiefs matches
With key fixtures on the horizon, Kaizer Chiefs will need to be creative about how to patch together a back four. Zitha Kwinika has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, while Inacio Miguel will miss upcoming league outings against Orbit College and TS Galaxy after picking up his eighth booking of the campaign. That takes his tally of yellow cards to 18 in 53 matches for the club. Given Msimango has only just returned from injury, leaving the club rather light in central defence, especially on the right side of that pairing. 30-year-old Miguel is admired for his aggressive defensive style, but some fans want him sold.
Kaizer Chiefs’ run-in
After consecutive Betway Premiership wins over Durban City and Magesi, Chiefs are within touching distance of the top three. They trail third-placed AmaZulu by a point but, crucially, they have two games in hand on the Durban-based side.
