Kaizer Chiefs compared to a "dead snake" by AmaZulu captain Makhehlene Makhaula
Earlier, Briefly News reported that Kaizer Chiefs have had a poor run of form at the start of the DStv Premiership and now they have a tough encounter against AmaZulu to face next. AmaZulu are difficult opposition as they finished second in the league last season and are led by the legendary Benni McCarthy.
The captain of AmaZulu, Makhehlene Makhaula, says that the Kaizer Chiefs side is like a "dead snake" that can revive itself at any time. The captain believes that they shouldn't take their game lightly because of Chiefs' current form and actually fight to win the match.
Samir Nurkovic out for the next 6 weeks with injury
In other soccer news, Briefly News reported that following knee surgery, Kaizer Chiefs star striker Samir Nurkovic will be out for up to six weeks. Nurkovic had surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee precisely one week ago and his return date has since been determined.
According to rumours, the Serbian striker will be out of action for at least another few weeks with Kaizer Chiefs. This will be a blow for Kaizer Chiefs, who already have issues in the striking department.
“I have had this injury niggling me for a while now – the medical team felt it was best to get the operation done. Further assessments will be done after the operation," said Nurkovic in the previous week, according to The South African.
