Chiefs: Are Dove and Bimenyimana available?

Arthur Zwane’s Kaizer Chiefs are hosting AmaZulu at the FNB Stadium on Saturday evening, and there’s uncertainly over the availability of new internationals Dove Edmilson and Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana.

A reliable source claimed the duo has acquired their work permits before Zwane said otherwise. Is the coach just keeping his cards close to his chest?

Coach Zwane says something else…

ZWANE SAYS OTHERWISE

Speaking to the media ahead of the game, the coach known as ‘10111’ said Amakhosi were still waiting for the documents on Thursday 1 September.

“The work permits, we’re still waiting on,” Zwane said without further elaboration as quoted by iDiskiTimes.

It’s now Saturday, did the documents perhaps become available on Friday or were they available while Thursday but Zwane needed to keep Usuthu guessing?

We shall find out when the team news get revealed around 16:00.
