Thomas Sweswe tips Chiefs to shine

Kaizer Chiefs defender Thomas Sweswe is confident Amakhosi will dump Santos out of the Telkom Knockout Cup. The 28-year-old is one of several Amakhosi stars that will miss the trip to Newlands on Sunday. 

Sweswe believes all the pressure is on the People’s Team, despite all the absentees for Chiefs. “I am very disappointed that I will not be in Cape Town with the boys this weekend,” he told the club’s official website. 

“I am confident though, that we will come back with a good result. Pressure will be on the hosts. They might take things lightly, taking into consideration that we are missing a few players due to injury and to some of them being in the Bafana Bafana squad. 

“They also have the home ground advantage and all of this might work in our favour (making them overconfident).” The Zimbabwe international has backed striker Lucky Khune to make a big impact should he be given the chance. 

“He is definitely one for the future. The boy is deadly and can use both feet. He showed against Aces that if he continues to work hard he could be one of the best. “I think we have quite good young players in the team, like George Lebese and Mandla Masango, who are also destined for bigger things.” Football365.co.za
