Kaizer Chiefs coach Cedric Kaze clears the air on Ben Youssef mystery

Kaizer Chiefs coach Cedric Kaze clears the air on Ben Youssef mystery

Ben Youssef’s name was notably missing from the matchday squad list, sparking speculation among supporters about his whereabouts. 

However, Kaze has moved quickly to dispel any concerns, confirming that the Moroccan coach was away attending to personal matters back home.

"Khalil attended a personal matter in Morocco; he wasn't here, but he will be back tomorrow," Kaze clarified after the match.

Chiefs' stalemate extended their winless run in the Betway Premiership to four matches, leaving them in fourth place on the log — five points adrift of leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have played a game more.

Despite their domestic struggles, Amakhosi will be hoping to regain momentum when they host AS Simba in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday. 

With Ben Youssef expected to rejoin the technical team before the clash, Chiefs will be desperate for a turnaround performance as they look to secure a place in the group stages of the continental competition.
