Kaizer Chiefs have landed in Lubumbashi, DR Congo, ready to face AS Simba in a crucial CAF Confederation Cup clash! After a disappointing defeat against Stellenbosch in the Carling Knockout, Amakhosi are looking to bounce back and make a strong statement in Africa.
Mayo to Lead the Attack?
New striker Khanyisa Mayo has been added to Chiefs' CAF Confederation Cup squad and is likely to spearhead the attack against AS Simba. After a promising league debut, Mayo's firepower will be vital for Chiefs securing a positive away result.
Maboe's Debut on the Cards?
Lebogang Maboe, signed on a free transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns, could also make his first appearance for Chiefs. After injury setbacks, Maboe will be eager to prove his worth and contribute to Amakhosi's continental campaign.
Vilakazi Returns from International Duty
Mfundo Vilakazi is back with the squad after representing South Africa's U-20 team in Chile. His return adds depth and dynamism to the Chiefs' midfield.
22-Man Squad Ready for Action
Chiefs have travelled with a strong 22-man squad, including Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari. Despite recent controversy, Ntwari remains part of the travelling party.
The match against AS Simba promises to be a tough encounter. Amakhosi will need to be at their best to overcome their Congolese opponents and take a step closer to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. Stay tuned for updates!
