Edson Castillo’s situation at Kaizer Chiefs has been clarified. The star player’s condition is serious, and he is expected to be able to play again in five months.
As a result, head coach Nasreddine Nabi is likely to make changes in the rotation in the coming weeks.
These changes will not be limited to player substitutions, as tactical adjustments will also be considered due to the need for one of their key players to undergo surgery. Castillo suffered an injury due to a tackle during the first half of the match against Supersport United, in which Kaizer Chiefs lost 1-0.
The earliest expectation is that the star player will return to the field by the end of February. Coach Nabi is considering filling the gap with Sibongiseni Mthethwa. However, this injury could also open up opportunities for Nkosnigiphile Ngcobo to get some playing time.
Additionally, there are rumors that coach Nabi may utilize George Matlou and Yusuf Maart as well.
