Overview

  • Kaizer Chiefs confirmed Nabi is not with the team and said discussions with the head coach are ongoing, calling it an internal matter.
  • Chiefs lost the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary first leg 1-0 to Kabuscorp in Luanda, with substitute Julio Matondo scoring around the hour mark.
  • Kabuscorp finished with 10 men, but Chiefs failed to find an equaliser, leaving them needing a win at FNB Stadium on September 27 to stay in the tie.
  • Caretakers Kaze and Ben Youssef led the side again, having previously overseen three wins when Nabi was on compassionate leave earlier this month.
  • Media reports say licensing concerns are central to Nabi’s absence and link Chiefs with potential replacements including Pedro Gonçalves, with other names such as Pitso Mosimane and Jose Riveiro also mentioned, as the transfer window closes on September 22.
