AmaZulu’s next match in the DStv Premiership will be against Chippa United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Head coach Pablo Franco Martin is aiming for Abbubaker Mobara to be available for selection ahead of the fixture.
Kick-off is at 15h00 CAT.
Mobara was sent off in the team’s previous league match against Orlando Pirates where Usuthu were defeated 1-0 courtesy of a late goal by the home team.
Franco Martin felt that the red card was not appropriate to be given and explained that the club has placed a report to the PSL to possibly have the suspension overturned.
”We’re not even talking about being fair. It’s about something that’s crazy. So the report is there in PSL and we are waiting for two days to reply because we are expecting Mobara to be available for this game and the upcoming games,” he said.
”Because not continuing for three games one of our key players for something that he didn’t do and it’s already proven, I think could be something again bad for this football and for this competition.”
Usuthu’s last victory was against Cape Town City earlier in the month and the team is currently occupying 13th position on the log. It will be a crucial match to get three points and build on consistency for the remainder of the season.
Chippa United are currently on an unbeaten streak and have won their last three matches in the league, including a 2-0 victory of Kaizer Chiefs.
