“We’ve got a couple of players coming back. Njabulo Ngcobo is coming back into the squad,

“Leonardo Castro is fit enough to be selected again, Samir (Nurkovic) is coming back. Siya (Ngezana) is back now (from suspension),”, Stuart Baxter reported on iDiskiTimes.

Ngcobo suffered severe burns and at some point could not walk so it is a relief to have him return to full fitness again.

As for Castro and Nurkovic, the two internationals have been sidelined for months with long-term injury layoffs. Seeing them back in the yellow and black of Amakhosi is exciting but they will not be rushed back into play. Ngezana has served his suspension and is now illegible to face Baroka FC.

Amakhosi have had a season ravished by injuries to key players.

However, they are starting to get their key players back in time for the Soweto derby next week. They do not have any other cup competitions this week which means they can fully prepare for that fixture after today’s PSL match.

First things first, Chiefs need to win today, they simply have to!

Amakhosi have not won a match yet this year and they have also failed to score in 2022.
