Kaizer Chiefs not rushing Keagan Dolly

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Molefi Ntseki says the club are taking their time on Keagan Dolly.

The 30-old-winger was ruled out of action for five months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against Sekhukhune United.

Dolly returned to action against Cape Town City at FNB Stadium two weeks ago before the international break.

Although he played 30 minutes, Ntseki said his vice-captain is not 100 percent ready to start games for Chiefs.

“I think it is a build-up,” Ntseki was quoted on iDiski Times.

“We are fully aware that Keagan Dolly was out for about five months due to the ACL injury. The last game we gave him 30 minutes and I think it will be a build-up in terms of getting match fitness, getting more playing minutes and also having a very clear understanding of the team how we play.

“I think he is a professional, highly talented, highly experienced. I think we will see more of him overtime whenever he is available for selection,” he said.

Dolly might feature in Saturday’s crunch game against AmaZulu in the Carling Knockout Round of 16.
