TUESDAY, 9.25AM:
KAIZER Chiefs coach Paul Dolezar is not worried by the absence of Nigerian defender Muisi Ajoa in the team to face archrivals Orlando Pirates in a Castle Premiership match at the FNB on Saturday.
Ajoa was red-carded in the game against Manning Rangers for head-butting Rangers striker Kerryn Jordaan. “I don’t think the fact that defender Muisi Ajoa’ is suspended will affect us so much. We have the depth but if he was going to play it would have been a bonus,” said the Frenchman. Ajoa was seen as the man to mark Jerry Sikhosana.
