Kaizer Chiefs coach Cedric Kaze plays down injury to in-form Glody Lilepo

Kaizer Chiefs coach Cedric Kaze plays down injury to in-form Glody Lilepo

The 28-year-old was withdrawn at half-time during Amakhosi's 3-1 CAF Confederation Cup victory over AS Simba on Sunday after setting up one goal and scoring another.

Initial thoughts were that the player had picked up ankle injury, but Kaze expects Lilepo to be fit to play Durban City in the Betway Premiership at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday.

Kaze said in the Citizen: "We will have to discuss it with the doctor. But it is a knock that I think shouldn't be very bad.

"If it was muscular it would be another issue but if it is a knock, after one or two days of ice, he should be ready to go on Friday."

Lilepo has been in fine form for Chiefs this season, scoring three goals in all competitions.
