SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt says he faces a major problem in his attacking department ahead of their clash against Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Cup.

Matsatsantsa are set to welcome the Soweto giants to the Peter Mokaba Stadium when they square off in the last 16 of the competition in Polokwane.

SuperSport will come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City at Athlone Stadium in the Betway Premiership.

AmaKhosi, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium in their previous match before the FIFA international break.

“It’s a problem for us obviously, we got few strikers out. We have not had much joy coming back and we won’t have (Bradley) Grobler returning for the weekend, so it is a major problem,” Hunt said as per SuperSport.

“We just have to try and see ourselves through this period. There is nothing you can do about it. We have to find a way with the players we got. And that’s all we can do. We have to believe in what we have and try to find the way.

“If maybe we change the way we play, so be it. There is nothing else we can do and will try to get into the next window.”

Kick-off has been set for 8pm.
