Kaizer Chiefs’ drama in the CAF Champions League has been resolved … or has it?

Gavin Hunt will have to make another forced change when he names his Kaizer Chiefs starting line-up for Tuesday’s league encounter against Stellenbosch FC.

Kick-off at the FNB Stadium is at 5PM.

This is because Njabulo Blom has been ruled out of the match through suspension.

According to the PSL, Blom has accumulated enough yellow cards a one-match ban.

Blom was booked in the 90th-minute of Amakhosi’s 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates on 21 March – and that was his fourth yellow card of the season.

His unavailability will certainly come as a huge blow for Hunt and his Chiefs technical team as Blom has proven to be an integral member of the squad this season.

The 21-year-old has featured heavily for the Glamour Boys thus far with 32 appearances across all competitions under his belt.

Interestingly, Blom has played all the 19 league matches for Chiefs this season, meaning he will miss his first league game for the club on Tuesday.

Nonetheless, Hunt has players such Darrel Matsheke and Kearyn Baccus to easily fill the void left by Blom in the Amakhosi midfield.
