Telkom Knockout Cup: Maritzburg United coach Tinkler not reading anything into absent Kaizer Chiefs players

Suspensions and injuries have been dominating pre-match talk about Amakhosi camp ahead of the semi-final

Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler is refusing to read much into talk of injuries and suspensions in the Kaizer Chiefs squad ahead of the two sides' Telkom Knockout semi-final clash at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.

Chiefs arrive in Nelspruit without the suspended trio of goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, defender Eric Mathoho and midfielder Willard Katsande.

Captain Itumeleng Khune is back to full fitness together with midfielder Kearyn Baccus but it remains to be seen if coach Ernst Middendorp will field them on Sunday.
