Hunt: Mathoho is a bit rusty

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt says defender Eric Mathoho is a bit rusty after coming back from suspension during their CAF Champions League opener against PWD Bamenda.

The 30-year-old missed Amakhosi’s previous two games in the DStv Premiership against Golden Arrows and Swallows FC after picking up a red card during their defeat to Orlando Pirates last month.

‘He scored a great goal, like a striker should finish. But you can see he is rusty in his general play and slow,’ Hunt told the media.

‘’He needs a little bit of game-time to get up to speed. But hopefully we can do that with a few games. That suspension hit us badly because he was out for a long time, then came back, played, then got sent off. But he has got enough experience to help us.’
