“Khune's knee is recovering well,” says Kaizer Chiefs physiotherapist David Milner about Itumeleng Khune, who underwent knee surgery a fortnight ago. “The swelling is coming down and he has started the rehabilitation process.”

“Shabba’s ankle is looking better,” adds Milner about captain Siphiwe Tshabalala, who slightly hurt his ankle in a recent practice match, which led to the midfielder missing the Maritzburg United clash. “He will be back in training on Monday.”

“Ivan Bukenya has a hamstring strain and will be back in training on Monday,” continues Milner. The midfielder sustained the injury while on duty with the Ugandan national side during the Fifa week.

Erick Mathoho is also struggling with a niggling injury.

On the positive side, striker David Zulu is now joining the team with certain training sessions after having been out for a while due to injury.

The PSL is presently in a brief recess, because of South Africa’s Under-23 team being involved in an 8-Nations Tournament in Senegal.
