Da Cruz says Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko is still adapting to South Africa and his tactical demands, but expects the midfielder to feature more regularly after the international break.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Da Cruz explains Mtasingwa's absence

Kaizer Chiefs' coach Fernando da Cruz has shed light on the slow start experienced by midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko since joining the club in late July. The 27-year-old defensive midfielder, who transferred from Tanzanian side Azam FC, has struggled to secure game time, featuring only three times in all competitions for the Glamour Boys.

Mountsawa's limited opportunities can be attributed to his late arrival and the need to adapt to Da Cruz's tactical demands. Speaking to the media, the French coach emphasized that Mtasingwa remains a key member of his plans and should see increased playing time as the season progresses. After the FIFA international break, Chiefs are expected to have a heavy fixture list, providing Bitegeko with ample opportunities to demonstrate his abilities and earn more minutes under Da Cruz's guidance.
