Chiefs sweating over key player's recovery

Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has issued an update on the readiness of Glody Lilepo, who was stretchered off with an injury during the CAF Confederation Cup win over AS Simba. Chiefs progressed to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup with a 3-1 win over Simba in the second leg of the second preliminary round. The match was played at Dobsobsonville Stadium on Sunday, with goals by new signing Etiosa Ighadaro, Lilepo, and Zitha Kwinika. Lupopo coach: I was surprised by that Ouaddou decision For Ighodaro, who was only making his second competitive appearance in Amakhosi colours, it was his first goal for the side. It was also the first time this season that the Soweto giants had scored three goals in a single fixture. However, Chiefs supporters will have some cause for concern as attacker Lilepo had to be substituted due to an injury. The Congolese has been key for the team, and his loss could be pivotal should he fail to recover in time for the Betway Premiership match against Durban City at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday. "We will have to discuss with the doctors," Kaze told journalists after the match. "But it was a knock, which I think that he shouldn't be very bad because if it was a muscular injury, that would be another issue. "But I think it's a knock. So, probably one or two days on ice. I think he should be ready to go on Friday against Durban City." READ | Dithejane: They said we disrespected Chiefs Chiefs are in fourth place with four wins from nine matches.
