Kaizer Chiefs’ poor run of form is cause for concern, admitted coach Giovanni Solinas as AmaKhosi were beaten in the Soweto derby by arch rivals Orlando Pirates.
It was a fourth match without victory for the club and saw them drop to fifth in the standings with just 14 points from 11 games.
“I agree that in the last games we haven’t collected points and that is not good enough for Kaizer Chiefs.
“But, in my opinion, we have the potential to win several matches in a row. There is no reason we cannot we win three, four or five games in a row. This is such a balanced league that if you do that you go right up the table,” Solinas told the post-match press conference.

“But the current position is no good for us. I believe are able to win three or four games (in a row) and the league is a long way from being over. The season only ends in May.”

“But we work hard, we are not sleeping. Every day we are working hard to improve and to take Chiefs up into the position Kaizer Chiefs deserves. In the future, I’m sure we’ll be there,” Solinas added.

Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...
