“We expect him to be more involved in the competitive matches in a week or two,” Maleka told the media, as quoted by Sowetan.

“He is working with the fitness trainers who push him to regain his match fitness but mentally he is very ready, and he can add value in the attacking part of our game plan.

“But he is doing well, and in two weeks you will start seeing him coming on and building up his confidence on the field of play.”

He added: “We know we have players who can play. For him to come to our squad, it is a plus… and we will make use of him very wisely.”
