Tau suspension poses problem for Kaizer Chiefs

The former Amakhosi captain is not available for this weekend\'s Premier Soccer League encounter against Free State Stars.Jimmy Tau\'s one-match suspension could not have come at a worse time for Kaizer Chiefs coach Vladimir Vermezovic.Tau will miss the clash against Free State Stars on Saturday night at the FNB stadium and what makes matters worse for Vermezovic is that his other option at right-back, Tlou Molekwane, is not fit to play, having just returned to training after a spell on the sidelines with an injury.But Vermezovic is confident another Chiefs defender, not necessarily a right-back, can fill in the void.\"Jimmy is out of this match because of suspension and Tlou has just recovered from injury so he is not ready for the game,\" Vermezovic confirms.\"We will see what we can do, but we do have defenders who even if they play out of position can still perform,\" he said.The Serbian admits that he is wary of the threat posed by Ea Lla Koto, a team that did not lose a league match to Chiefs last season.\"Free State Stars can play a passing game and they can play long balls too. They are also dangerous in set pieces but we have worked on our weaknesses in set pieces,\" he said.\"We didn\'t beat them in the League last season, because we lost one match and the other one was a draw, but now we are ready for revenge,\" Vermezovic concluded.
