Benni McCarthy confirms three Covid-19 cases at AmaZulu ahead of Bloemfontein Celtic clash

AmaZulu's head coach Benni McCarthy has confirmed that his side will be missing three players to Covid-19 when they take on Bloemfontein Celtic in a Premier Soccer League encounter on Sunday.

Midfield mainstay Makhehleni Makaula, left-back Sibusiso Mabiliso, and veteran attacker Siphiwe Tshabalala are the three players that have tested positive.

''Obviously, it wasn’t the ideal start because we were expected to start on the 2nd [2 January] against Kaizer Chiefs, but we understand the circumstances with Chiefs playing in the Caf Champions League in Africa,’’ McCarthy told the club’s media office.
