Following the postponement of their Royal AM fixtures which includes Kaizer Chiefs’, coach Nasreddine Nabi has detailed the team's weekend plans.
Amakhosi, still reeling from Wednesday's 4-1 defeat to SuperSport United, had hoped to bounce back against Thwihli Thwahla.
However, with that match off, Nabi has stated that Chiefs players will receive a short break this weekend, followed by a friendly game to give fringe players valuable playing time.
WHAT CHIEFS PLAYERS WILL DO DURING THE WEEKEND
“Yes, definitely we’re going to give the players some time off,” said Nabi during the post-match press conference.
“We will try to organise, if possible a friendly game, to allow other players also to see how they can come into the games and let us know if they are ready for next games to come.”
In response to the heavy defeat by SuperSport, Nabi conceded that his team deserved the loss, acknowledging they fell short of their usual standards.
NABI SAYS THEY DESERVED TO LOSE AGAINST SUPERSPORT
“It was the difficult game from the first minute and already we could see that it was an off game for us,” he stated.
“I cannot give excuses all the time but I believe we didn’t have enough time to recover two days [Sunday and Monday] but the other team had a week at least.
“And it’s a deserved defeat for us but you can see that mentally we were not up to standard and we cracked. Unfortunately, we can see that the result is also a painful one for us.”
