Lebogang Manyama had some fitness question marks coming into the game‚ Kaizer Chiefs coach Middendorp has said explaining why his star midfielder had a flat performance in a 3-1 Absa Premiership defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday night.

Upset results are part of football under Covid-19‚ where unprepared teams are suffering injuries and having to rotate players far quicker than normal as the matches come thick and fast too.Chiefs’ coach started centreback Daniel Cardoso at left-back and had midfielder Anthony Akumu at centreback.

Left-back Yagan Sasman replaced Manyama and right-back Reeve Frosler came on for Manyama from the break with the score at 1-1‚ but the changes did not have the desired effect for Amakhosi. “Despite the change with Reeve who should move forward – he’s very quick‚ very good on the ball – with everybody definitely not putting in what we were expecting [it did not happen].

“I could see tonight he didn’t come to the party the way he normally would. OK‚ we thought we would be able to handle it without him. That was the reason [for substituting Manyama off and Sasman on at the break].”
