Kaizer Chiefs suffer Manyama setback ahead of Chippa United clash

Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter says forward Lebogang Manyama is back in rehabilitation after suffering an injury during training.

The latest injury setback comes as the Soweto giants prepare to host Chippa United in Saturday’s Premier Soccer League tie at FNB Stadium.

With Leonardo Castro and Samir Nurkovic already out injured, both after surgery, Manyama’s injury further depletes their options upfront.

“We worked hard with a reduced squad during the international break,” Baxter told the media.

“We’ve got all players back from the international break today and had an intense session this morning [Thursday]. The lads coming back from Bafana are in good spirits and are okay, obviously, because they got a couple of good results, so they're okay.
