Kaizer Chiefs coach Middendorp upset Billiat couldn't play against Maritzburg United

The German-born manager is unhappy with how the attacker's hamstring strain wasn't taken seriously by his national team doctors last week

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp admits he was upset that he couldn't use Khama Billiat against Maritzburg United.

Billiat's absence from the matchday squad caused a stir on social media platforms soon after the release of the starting line-up by Amakhosi.

According to the German mentor, Billiat honoured Zimbabwe national team call-ups with an already tight hamstring and he didn't expect Warriors to take a risk and play the attacker.
