Kaizer Chiefs is eagerly awaiting the return of their influential striker, Ashley du Preez, who has been sidelined for over two months due to injury. The absence of the former Stellenbosch FC player has left a noticeable void in the team’s attacking prowess, particularly in the final third.
Ashley Du Preez update: Before his injury, Du Preez emerged as one of Amakhosi’s most potent threats in the forward line, showcasing not only speed but also a knack for outmaneuvering opposition defenders with his trickery. Cavin Johnson, the interim coach, has relied on Ranga Chivaviro as the primary striker in Du Preez‘s absence. However, the team has felt the absence of a dynamic attacking player with the pace and finishing ability that Du Preez brings to the field.
