Middendorp hints at Castro and Nurkovic partnership at Kaizer Chiefs

The Serbian forward led the Amakhosi attack soon after his arrival in the off-season, relegating the Colombian marksman to the bench in the process

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp doesn't see why Leonardo Castro and Samir Nurkovic cannot play together up front.

The duo played together as Amakhosi came from a goal down to beat Cape Town City on penalties in the Telkom Knockout Cup although Nurkovic came on as a second-half substitute.

Middendorp said while Nurkovic is an exceptional player, he couldn't risk him by throwing him into the starting line-up after being out for three weeks with a head injury.
