Ethan Chislett: Kaizer Chiefs Explain Why Fan Favourite Missed Durban City Clash

• Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed why Ethan Chislett didn't feature in their 1-0 win over Durban City in the Betway Premiership
• The former Southampton academy product has been one of the key players for the Glamour Boys since making his debut recently
• The former England-based midfielder is not the only injury problem Kaizer Chiefs have been facing this season

Kaizer Chiefs have been hit with another major setback as one of the key players could be ruled out for some time due to injury.

The Glamour Boys are back to winning ways after defeating Durban City 1-0 courtesy of Glody Lilepo's second-half goal at the FNB Stadium on Sunday, March 16, 2026.

The win comes after Kaizer Chiefs' recent poor run of form, which saw them lose against Orlando Pirates and Richards Bay in the Betway Premiership.

The Soweto giants are still in contention to finish among the top three as they hope to return to continental football next season after being knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup in the group stage this campaign.

Chislett ruled out with injury

Kaizer Chiefs released an official statement on their website to confirm why Ethan Chislett missed the Soweto giants' win over Durban City in the Betway Premiership.

The Durban-midfielder had to wait seven months before making his debut for the club, having joined at the start of the season on a free transfer.

Since he made his debut, he has featured against Orlando Pirates and also suffered a defeat against Richards Bay.

“Ethan Chislett is the latest player to be ruled out, as he is recovering from a hamstring strain,” the Chiefs confirmed on their official website.

The Soweto giants didn't give details on when the 27-year-old would be back in action, but his recovery would be monitored by the club.

Aden McCarthy and Sibongiseni Mthethwa were also part of the players who didn't take part in Chiefs' win over Durban City.

Kaizer Chiefs injury woes

Kaizer Chiefs have struggled with an injury problem since the start of this season; several players have been sidelined because of that.

George Matlou was recently ruled out for the season after the South African midfielder underwent knee surgery. He picked up the injury during the CAF Confederation Cup clash with Zamalek SC.

Nkanyiso Shinga, who was signed in the summer, is also out of action after picking up an injury during Chiefs' defeat against Richards Bay.

Rushwin Dortley is not yet fully fit, and he has not featured for the Glamour Boy for a long period. He is expected to be back in action before the ongoing season ends.
