Kaizer Chiefs Squad Injury Report As of 25th Aug 2025

• Aden McCathy, a central defender for Kaizer Chiefs, was injured and missed last week’s Premier Soccer League match against Richards Bay.
• He joins Rushwin Dortley and Given Msimango, two more center backs, who are sidelined due to injury.
• “Sick,” says Amakhosi assistant coach Cedric Kaze, are left-backs Bradley Cross and Nkanyiso Shinga.
• A new signer Etiosa Ighodaro’s Chiefs debut may be postponed due to an injury sustained during training.
• This occurs as the Soweto powerhouses get ready for Wednesday’s league matchup against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Our Concern

McCarthy has already won two Man of the Match awards in the three PSL games the Chiefs have played this season, so it would be a major loss for Amakhosi if he is unable to recuperate for the Sundowns encounter.

Given that Dortley and Msimango, two more center-backs, are still sidelined due to injuries, it is also a major setback.

In the event that McCarthy is unable to fully recover, Nabi would have Zitha Kwinika accompany Inacio Miguel in central defense.

Sundowns Squad Injury Report As of 25th Aug 2025

• Vilakazi suffered a knee injury; Jali and Lebusa both suffered hamstring strains; Sirino suffered an ankle injury; and Phakamani suffered an ankle injury.
• While Coetzee is recovering from a strained calf, Onyango is recovering from a hip ailment. Both players have made progress.

Head-to-Head Record

Since September 2023, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns have faced each other six times. Sundowns dominate with five wins, while Chiefs have claimed just one victory – their 2-1 success in the National Cup on April 13, 2025.

Recent Form

• Kaizer Chiefs: On a two-match winning run, beating Polokwane City and Stellenbosch. From their last 20 matches: 7 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses.

Match Preview

Kaizer Chiefs will face Mamelodi Sundowns in the South African Premier League on August 27, with kickoff scheduled for 19:30 local time in ZA.

The matchup brings added intensity as the two sides meet again, just four months after their National Cup clash, where Kaizer Chiefs secured a 2-1 win. Chiefs head into this encounter in strong form, having claimed victories over Polokwane City and Stellenbosch, and will be eager to extend their winning streak. Before the showdown with Sundowns, Chiefs must first navigate their league fixture against Richards Bay, a game that could shape their preparation and momentum.

For Mamelodi Sundowns, confidence is high after a draw with Orlando Pirates last weekend, which stretched their unbeaten run to five matches. However, they face a demanding schedule before meeting Chiefs, including Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 Cup and Magesi in the league, matches that could impact both their form and player readiness for the highly anticipated clash.
