Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has given an update on Tashreeq Morris‘ injury.

The 30-year-old striker suffered major setback during the match against Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend. Amakhosi lost 1-0 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium but their performance gave Nabi and his team confidence going into the next games.

Morris was forced off the field during the first half and was replaced by Ashley Du Preez. Having joined from SuperSport United in January, the big striker has struggled to find form in the four matches he has played for Kaizer Chiefs.

“He’s out maybe six, seven days,” Nabi told iDiski Times.

“I would say that it hurt us a lot because it’s a striker that can give you a lot of things.

“He’s a good presser. He doesn’t give a lot of rest to the defenders. But after, when he came out, we saw that even the centre-backs were a little bit comfortable with the ball all the time.”

“He’s as well in a nine classic that can give you, when you need you can play on him, he’s going to hold the ball, he’s going to give your team the time to go up to take positions to attack,” Nabi said.

Kaizer Chiefs are in action on Tuesday evening against Magesi FC. Nabi’s men will be without Thabo Cele and Tashreeq Morris but this will give an opportunity for the likes of Ashley Du Preez, Edson Castillo and Ranga Chivaviro to show what they can do.
