Telkom Knockout Cup: Kaizer Chiefs explain Billiat's omission from clash with Maritzburg United

Kaizer Chiefs attacker Khama Billiat will not take part in Sunday's Telkom Knockout Cup match against Maritzburg United.

The talisman's exclusion from the Amakhosi starting XI caused a stir on social media as fans started asking why the Zimbabwean wasn't included in the team.

Amakhosi could only confirm that there is an 'injury concern' with Billiat without elaborating further.

Billiat travelled with the squad to Mbombela, meaning the injury would have been picked up in the build-up to the encounter against the Team of Choice.

The 29-year-old recently returned from national duty where he helped Zimbabwe beat Zambia in the Afcon 2021 qualifiers.
