The 34-year-old was missing from the squad for the season opener at Mbombela Stadium despite being named the captain a day earlier
Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has explained why goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune was missing from the squad against TS Galaxy in their Premier Soccer League opener on Sunday.
The Soweto giants opened their 2021-22 campaign with a 0-0 draw against Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium and conspicuously missing from the team’s squad was long-serving player Khune.
What did Baxter say?
"Itu, there is nothing wrong with him, nothing he did against Mamelodi Sundowns [was wrong]," Baxter told the media after the match when quizzed about Khune's absence.
