Kaizer Chiefs have been handed another injury setback after defender Reeve Frosler missed their Carling Knockout quarter-final encounter against Siwelele FC on Sunday, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming crucial fixtures.

The 28-year-old right-back has struggled with recurring fitness problems, which have disrupted his progress and made it difficult for him to establish himself as a regular member of the starting line-up. His latest absence is another concern for head coach Fernando da Cruz, who will be hoping to have as many experienced players available as possible during this important stage of the season.

Despite Frosler's absence, Amakhosi showed determination to overcome Siwelele, securing an impressive 2-1 comeback victory to book their place in the Carling Knockout semi-finals. However, his unavailability once again highlighted the defensive challenges facing the technical team.

The Chiefs medical department is reportedly working towards helping the defender regain full fitness, although there are concerns about whether he will recover in time for the club's next major assignment. The Soweto giants will be hoping that his latest problem is not serious enough to keep him out for another extended period.

Chiefs are preparing for a difficult Carling Knockout semi-final encounter against Mamelodi Sundowns, scheduled for the weekend of November 21-22. The match presents a significant challenge for Da Cruz's side, considering Sundowns' quality, experience and ambitions of reaching the final.

Frosler's potential return would provide Chiefs with another valuable defensive option. His experience, defensive discipline and ability to contribute to attacking movements down the right flank could prove important against the Brazilians.

Nevertheless, Chiefs are unlikely to take unnecessary risks with his recovery. Supporters will now be waiting for an official update on his condition as Amakhosi look to maintain their silverware ambitions this season.
