Kaizer Chiefs have kicked off the season in impressive fashion, and fans can expect more exciting action when they face Sekhukhune this week.
The squad is buzzing with energy, and there’s plenty of news from Naturena to keep supporters up to date.
Dortley’s Comeback a Boost for Chiefs
One of the season’s big positives has been Rushwin Dortley’s return from injury.
While the technical team is taking it slow to ease him back into full match fitness, seeing him back on the pitch is a huge morale boost for the Amakhosi.
“Rushwin Dortley is running around a nearly empty pitch, under close supervision from physiotherapist Phumzile Ngobese,” Kaizer Chiefs announced on 15 July.
“He alternates between jogging and increasing his pace as he gradually returns to full training.”
Khanyisa Mayo Joins the Squad
Another addition creating a stir at Naturena is Khanyisa Mayo, who has arrived on a season-long loan.
The forward looks ready to make an impact and provide fresh attacking options for the Chiefs as they chase victories this season.
Mayo’s presence adds depth to the squad and gives coach Stuart Baxter more tactical flexibility ahead of crucial matches, including the upcoming clash with Sekhukhune.
Remembering Collins Mbesuma’s Legacy
While new faces are exciting, Chiefs fans are also reminiscing about club legends like Collins Mbesuma.
The Zambian striker’s incredible goal-scoring feats, including 25 goals in the 2004-05 DStv Premiership season, remain a record unlikely to be broken.
Mbesuma’s 55 goals in 173 league appearances earned him international recognition and even a move to Portsmouth in 2005, making him one of the most celebrated names in Chiefs history.
Looking Ahead
As Kaizer Chiefs prepare for their next showdown against Sekhukhune, fans are eager to see how returning players like Dortley and new signings like Mayo will influence the team’s performances.
The season promises exciting football, and the squad looks ready to keep building on their early success.
