Ngobeni together with Siphiwe Tshabalala worked with Team Physio, Dave Milner while the rest of the team was sweating it out in preparation for the game against SuperSport United on Sunday, 31 November 2010.

The U23 international, Thela Ngobeni who made his debut against SuperSport United in August last year told kaizerchiefs.com that he is positive despite the latest setback, “I was happy just to get back to the pitch even for light training.”

“I will be working with Dave (Milner) at least for the next 6-8 weeks. I will keep my head up because I know that in football these things happen and I do not have to let it affect me,” said the East Rand born goal-minder.
