‘That weight has to go’ – Kaizer Chiefs’ Baxter on why Dolly missed Orlando Pirates clash

The new signing was among the players the fans expected to play for Amakhosi in the cup but he was not involved

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter has blamed weight gain for the decision of not playing Keagan Dolly against Orlando Pirates in the Carling Black Label Cup.

Dolly, a Caf Champions League winner with Mamelodi Sundowns, is among the new signings at Amakhosi, as they strive to rebuild a team for the new campaign.

Despite arriving in time for the Black Label Cup, Dolly, who has also featured for French side Montpellier in 2017, was overlooked as Chiefs went on to beat their rivals 4-3 on penalties to secure the trophy at Orlando Stadium.
