Chicken Inn FC Coach Prince Matore has confirmed that 4 key players are nursing injuries ahead of their second successive derby match against Bulawayo Chiefs this Saturday at Luveve stadium.

He was speaking during a press conference held today.

The players that are likely to miss the upcoming game include defender Shepherd Mhlanga, George Majika, Richard Hachiro and forward Malvin Hwata.

Matore said they are expecting a difficult encounter since it’s a derby although they are adequately prepared for the task ahead.

The Gamecocks will be hoping that players like Michael Charamba and Brian Muza who scored against Bosso last week will carry the team against an unpredictable Bulawayo Chiefs.

Amakhosi coach Johanisi Nhuma will be looking to register his first victory under his new club after failing to win in his first four matches.
