Itumeleng Khune, the fan favorite, could be part of the team of the match day when Kaizer Chiefs host Chippa United in their penultimate league game at Orlando Stadium tonight (6pm).
This was hinted at yesterday by Chiefs spokeswoman Vina Maphosa. “Our three guardians [Khune, Bruce Bvuma and Brylon Petersen] are available and the room [Daniel Akpeyi] he’s injured, ” Maphosa told Sowetan.
“I cannot answer about a player, but all the players that are in the camp are in contention to play. I’m talking about the three porters in the camp, I can’t talk about individuals. It is up to the coach to decide who plays. ”
Khune came on the scene after Akpeyi’s concussion in Amakhosi’s last game, a 1-0 loss to Bidvest Wits last Sunday. Akpeyi was substituted at half-time after colliding with Mxolisi Macuphu, replacing him with Bvuma. Bvuma conceded in injury time, beaten by Bienvenu Eva Nga.
On Monday, the Chiefs confirmed that Akpeyi had been ruled out for the last two games against Chippa and Baroka on Saturday. The Nigerian international had been instrumental for the Soweto giants this season, starting 24 of the team’s 28 league games, with 10 clean sheets and 10 conceded.
