So far, Kaizer Chiefs have released three players but more expected to depart in the coming weeks. The likes of Edson Castillo and Mduduzi Mdantsane are reportedly on their way out.
With work resuming on Monday, Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi will look to sign a few players ahead of their pre-season training in the Netherlands.
This week, Dutch side Utrecht FC confirmed that they will face the Nedbank Cup champions on July 11. 'The next opponent will follow on July 11. The most popular club in South Africa will be the opponent: Kaizer Chiefs. This match will also be played behind closed doors,' the club stated.
