Kaizer Chiefs name 18-man squad for Horoya CAF clash, key trio miss out

Kaizer Chiefs will jet off to Guinea on Thursday to face Horoya in their final Group C match of the 2020/21 CAF Champions League in the knowledge that a win in West Africa – or a draw with goals – will be enough to see them through to the quarter-finals of the competition.

While Kaizer Chiefs will be missing goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, striker Samir Nurkovic through suspension, and Leonardo Castro because of a broken nose, Amakhosi do have Khama Billiat in their travelling party and will be hoping the duo will be able to play some part in their quest to get the result they need.

The match will kick off at 21:00 SA time at the General Lansana Conté Stadium on the outskirts of the Guinean capital Conakry.

The earlier encounter between the sides in the group stages at the FNB Stadium in late February ended goalless, with Kaizer Chiefs left feeling aggrieved as they had a legitimate goal by Samir Nurkovic ruled out for offside.
