Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt has explained why he had little choice but to make wholesale changes to his team for the Caf Champions League Group C match against Petro de Luanda at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.
Hunt made eight changes from the side which lost 4-0 to Wydad Casablanca last weekend, and it resulted in a 2-0 win at home for Chiefs, thanks to goals from Erick Mathoho and Happy Mashiane.
Several of the changes were enforced - goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune was not available due to the death of his sister, while strikers Leonardo Castro and Samir Nurkovic were both out injured.
