Boebie: We will attack Chiefs

Johannesburg - Santos coach Boebie Solomons aims to go on the attack in Saturday's Telkom Knockout semi-final with Kaizer Chiefs in Polokwane.

The People's Team, who recently handed Amakhosi their first league defeat of the season, will revive hostilities at Peter Mokaba Stadium, with Solomons confident of success.

"The plan is to play attacking football from the onset on Saturday," he told the Sowetan.

"We are not going to tamper with a winning combination.

"Chiefs are in great form after their win over Pirates but we are also geared up for the match.

"I think it will be a great game of football."

In team news, Solomons has his hands full with injuries.

Key strikers Erwin Isaacs (knee) and Eleazer Rodgers (foot) remain sidelined, while midfield duo Shafreeq Arendse and Jurie Basie as well as defender Musa Otieno are all in the treatment room nursing a variety of ailments.

However, goal-scoring midfielder Graham King returns from injury.

Meanwhile, the Glamour Boys could be without Kaizer Motaung Junior due to an ankle problem he sustained in training.

The striker will go for a second scan on Friday to assess the damage.

But Burundian centre-back Valery Nahayo is available again after serving a ban in the 3-1 victory over Orlando Pirates last Saturday.
