Mthethwa missing for Kaizer Chiefs against Spurs

Sibongiseni Mthethwa will miss Chiefs’ league outing against Cape Town Spurs on November 8th. Chiefs welcome rock-bottom Spurs to FNB Stadium on November 8th and will be without Sibongiseni Mthethwa through suspension. The ex-Stellies midfielder picked up his fourth booking of the campaign against Golden Arrows. Chiefs lost 2-1. Sifiso Hlanti, scorer of the Glamour Boys consolation goal, is on three bookings for the season and would miss the Orlando Pirates match if he picks up a yellow against Spurs. The same can be said for Pule Mmodi.

Blessing in disguise?

With Orlando Pirates looming large, it’s perhaps best for Mthethwa to get his first suspension out of the way before a critical clash with the Buccaneers. That is especially considering the gap of just three days between the matches.
