2. Bundesliga Qualification Overview

The French coach has handed the Amakhosi faithful a massive boost by confirming that the defender is finally closing in on a competitive return. The 24-year-old has endured a torrid time on the sidelines but has now successfully stepped up his recovery by featuring in match action.

Amakhosi legend Brian Baloyi has sent a clear message to the club’s goalkeeping department, suggesting that the captain has become far too complacent. The former Bafana Bafana shot-stopper believes the current number one is lacking the necessary urgency to lead the Glamour Boys' backline effectively.

Retired midfielder believes the Buccaneers hold a significant advantage heading into Saturday’s MTN8 semi-final second leg against the Limpopo side. However, he has suggested that a sudden coaching crisis at Babina Noko might provide the spark needed to pull off a massive upset.

Masandawana coach has come out in defence of the 25-year-old, rejecting suggestions that the winger receives preferential treatment in his starting line-up. The Portuguese tactician insisted that every selection decision is based strictly on training-ground performances rather than personal relationships.
