Absa Premiership log leaders, Kaizer Chiefs, will take on Moroka Swallows tomorrow at the Dobsonville Stadium. The Soweto derby comes at a stage in the season where the Amakhosi need all three points on offer to consolidate their lead at the top of the PSL table.
Coach Stuart Baxter has seen his squad depleted due to injury in recent times, most notably in defence, however will be delighted to have Eric ‘Tower’ Mathoho available for the league outing.
Mathoho missed out on the team’s 1-0 win over Bloemfontein Celtic in the Nedbank Cup last weekend, although has since resumed full training with the rest of his teammates. Baxter told the Siya crew that Matoho is training with the squad, being a major boost to the team.
He said apart from Reneilwe ‘Yeye’ Letsholonyane, who is serving the last of his two match suspension, he has a strong squad available for selection.
“You know Morgan Gould is out for the whole season and Yeye is out suspended but Matthew Rusike, Jimmy Tau are both training. The good news is that Tower (Mathoho) has returned to full training which means he is ready for selection.
“We want to have the strongest team on Saturday so that we can collect the full three points, which is so vital in our quest to win the league title,” Baxter concluded.
Chiefs currently lead the log with 52 points after 25 rounds of league action, with Platinum Stars in second place, four points adrift.
