Cape Town City coach Riekerink sweats over Erasmus fitness

Cape Town City coach Jan Olde Riekerink is uncertain over the availability of the club's injured top-scorer Kermit Erasmus ahead of Saturday's Premier Soccer League (PSL) hosting of Chippa United at Athlone Stadium.

The striker has a hamstring injury which saw him being substituted 17 minutes into last Saturday's league clash against Highlands Park at home, having also missed the trip to Bloemfontein Celtic three days earlier.

With Erasmus being City's top-scorer with seven league goals so far, his fitness has proven to be a major concern for Riekerink who is unsure if his forward will make it for the Chippa assignment.
