Mtasingwa has since played just three times under Da Cruz, in the 1-0 MTN8 quarter-final defeat to Golden Arrows and as a late substitute in the 1-1 league draw with Mamelodi Sundowns and the recent 1-1 draw with Polokwane City at the weekend.

Chiefs are next in action against Golden Arrows on Sunday. They are then sidelined until 17 October as Bafana Bafana play two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
