“The senior team played on Saturday‚ we didn’t train on Sunday‚ we went to camp on Monday. And all the uninjured players went to camp.
“Who will be in the final match 18 was still going to be decided [on Monday] night because we didn’t have time to train fully.
“Yesterday’s training was not a meaningful training because of the heavy rain.”
Maphosa added: “His [Billiat’s] car accident has got no little‚ even slight‚ impact on his playing condition. It has nothing that is a concern for his body or health‚ or anything.
“It was just a tyre burst. The car hit the pavement. And that’s it.
“There was no other car‚ no other person involved.”
Chiefs forward Kabelo Mahlasela‚ who went off injured in just the 14th minute after his foot was stepped on against Chippa‚ is not available against Arrows.
“I think a stud of another player punctured his foot‚” Maphosa said.
“He had blood spewing out of his foot. That was arrested at the hospital.
“He’s fine – he’s just waiting for the next training. But he’s not available for tonight.”
Chiefs are in seventh place in the PSL‚ and Arrows in ninth.
