Absence of Chiefs trio explained
The Citizen
|August 12, 2025
Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef (right) has explained why striker Flavio Silva, left back Nkanyiso Shinga and midfielder Ethasn Chislett did not feature at all in Sunday's 2-0 Betway Premiership win at Stellenbosch FC.
The trio are still awaiting their work permits, and so cannot play in any official Chiefs match, though they were allowed to feature in pre-season.
"When the new players come back to join us, it will be better," Youssef said after Amakhosi's win at Athlone Stadium.
"They will give us more solutions. We are waiting for them (the work permits) and we continue to work."
Chiefs' next game is at home to Polokwane City tomorrow at FNB Stadium and at the moment it is unclear if their work permits will have come through by then.
