Kaizer Chiefs safely arrived in Morocco on Thursday afternoon, after a 21 hour trip from Johannesburg via Dubai to Casablanca.

Amakhosi face Raja Casablanca in the second leg of the CAF Champions League’s first round at Stade Mohammed V on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 19:00 (20:00, South African time).

Soon after arriving in Casablanca, the Chiefs players had a little session in the pool, including a stretching exercise.

The small pool on the third floor of the hotel was quite cold, which led to some hilarity among the players, who were in good spirits despite the long flight.

Siphiwe Tshabalala, due to dental problems, and Brilliant Khuzwayo, for family reasons, were late withdrawals for the squad that travelled to Morocco.

Amakhosi lost the first leg 1-0. However, Raja has now lost three league games at home in a row.
