Kaizer Chiefs hit with major injury blow ahead of Nedbank Cup final.

Chiefs face a defensive crisis ahead of the Nedbank Cup final, with a star’s injury casting doubt over his season and his future at the club.

Kaizer Chiefs hit with a major injury blow ahead of the Nedbank Cup final.

Amakhosi are still riding the wave of their stunning victory over Mamelodi Sundowns, a win that secured their place against their fierce Soweto rivals, Orlando Pirates. But as the team gears up for what could be a historic clash, they may have to do it without one of their most reliable defenders.

Right back Reeve Frosler has been sidelined since early March, and sources reveal he’s been nursing a nagging shoulder injury. With just weeks left in the season, the chances of his return look slim.

Frosler’s future hangs in the balance

The injury couldn’t come at a worse time for the 27-year-old full-back. His contract with Kaizer Chiefs expires at the end of the season, and although “Frosler has agreed in principle to extend his stay with the club,” fans have yet to hear an official announcement.

While the club remains tight-lipped about the finer details, insiders confirm that the Glamour Boys want to keep the former Bidvest Wits star beyond June 2025. His decision to remain at Naturena would offer a huge boost to the squad’s defensive depth.

Chiefs’ defensive line stretched thin

Frosler’s absence compounds Kaizer Chiefs’ injury woes, with Rushwin Dortley and Inacio Miguel also sidelined. This string of setbacks has forced head coach Nasreddine Nabi to reshuffle his backline.

Dillan Solomons has stepped up as the starting right back and now faces a golden opportunity. With his own contract set to expire in June, Solomons will look to impress in the season’s final stretch. A strong performance could secure his future with the club or attract interest elsewhere.

The club Is keen on holding onto Frosler

Despite the injury, Kaizer Chiefs remain committed to Frosler. “The club is keen on holding onto the former Bidvest Wits right back,” a source confirmed, emphasizing his value to the squad.

With speculation swirling and fans eager for clarity, the club is expected to announce the contract extension soon. If confirmed, Frosler’s decision to stay will solidify his role as a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ defense heading into the next season.

With the Nedbank Cup final fast approaching, all eyes are on the Chiefs’ camp.
