Following the new leadership of Nasreddine Nabi, Kaizer Chiefs have utilized all three of their goalkeepers this season, underscoring significant concerns about their goalkeeping roster. in goal.
Meanwhile, Bruce Bvuma has voiced his thoughts on the limited playing time he’s received with Amakhosi at the start of the current season.
This situation arises after Bvuma was the main goalkeeper at the close of the 2023/24 season; however, his status was uncertain with the signing of Fiacre Ntwari from TS Galaxy during the transfer window.
Ntwari held the starting position for the first seven matches of the season but let in nine goals during that span.
He was quickly succeeded by Brandon Petersen, who encountered his own difficulties, conceding five goals in three matches, with his most recent appearance concluding in a 2-0 defeat against Polokwane City at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Coach Nabi eventually provided Bvuma with a chance in December against TS Galaxy, resulting in a 1-1 draw, along with a victory over Chippa United and a recent defeat to Cape Town City.
Despite the challenges faced by the Chiefs in goalkeeping, Bvuma holds a positive perspective.
“I believe there are no worries regarding my limited appearances; it’s just about competition,” Bvuma remarked.
“The race for a starting position in this team is always intense due to the presence of international goalkeepers.
“One individual will seize the opportunity while others must await theirs; that’s the nature of football.
“It’s not an issue at all; it revolves around competition, and when someone is given the chance, we must rally behind them.”
Bvuma and the Amakhosi are set to host Stellenbosch on Wednesday evening at FNB Stadium in a Betway Premiership encounter.
The 29-year-old is optimistic that the Chiefs can secure all three points against the formidable team led by Steve Barker.
“Our preparations have been diligent ahead of this match,” Bvuma stated.
“We simply need to sustain that mindset and concentrate on our game plan. Previously, this strategy has caused them difficulties.
“I truly believe that if we give our best, we can manage any challenges that come our way.”
Amakhosi will be aiming for their first win of the year against Stellies.
