It’s make or break – Hunt
“The line-up has to change. People are getting injured and suspended when you play so many games. It’s only natural that players get injured, so we have a few problems.” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Gavin Hunt said.
“We have to use the squad and anyone who steps in, we have total faith in them. We need to be positive and play. We have five league games to go and we have not secured our place in the top eight yet. It’s going to be a big ask but we can do it.
“Obviously CAF games are around the corner in between all of this so we will be travelling. And locally we have to come back to Limpopo and go further north to Venda to play Black Leopards, which is a long trip that’s going to be in between Kaizer Chiefs’ CAF quarter-final games.”
