Komphela explains why Castro has not played for Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela says striker Leonardo Castro has not featured for his new side because he is waiting for his work permit.


“We are waiting for him to get his papers and as soon as that happens‚ he is ready.

“If he had them last week we could have introduced him [against Polokwane City]‚ so we are desperate to get his papers‚” Komphela was quoted as saying by the Sowetan.

“The guy is a finisher‚ he is unbelievable‚ he is class and that is what you want.

“For far too long we have had problems on top [in attack]‚” Komphela added.

“Everything else is OK – at the back‚ in the midfield‚ it is all OK.

“But we were not that convincing on top and now we have strengthened there.”
