“I am feeling okay and my recovery was good. I think I have been out for some few games, because last season I did not play much. But I am working on it,” he said.

“We are looking forward to the Sunday game and we are more hungry. We want to make sure that we get something at the end of the season. We don’t know much about the players that they (Galaxy) have brought in, but we are aware that they are not a bad side and we will go there and make sure that we apply ourselves well.

“We want to start well and make sure that we collect maximum points. If we want to win something at the end of the season, we have to make sure we collect maximum points as much as we can,” Phathutshedzo Nange concluded.
