Chiefs lose Frosler, five defenders out

Kaizer Chiefs defender Reece Frosler has torn his hamstring (Grade 2) and is sidelined until after the MTN8 semi-finals. He joins Nkanyiso Shinga, Paseka Mako, Bradley Cross and Kabelo Nkgwesa on the injury list, leaving the club without a fit left-back.

What it means

• Reece Frosler: torn hamstring, expected back after MTN8 semi-finals
• All four specialist left-backs plus replacement Nkgwesa are injured
• Coach Da Cruz used a five-man backline with Pule Mmodi at left wing-back against Sundowns

Model read

Chiefs' defence is severely depleted with the entire left-back department unavailable, forcing a reshuffled backline and likely sacrificing attacking width — a major weaken for upcoming matches.
