He featured in the thrilling Dstv Premiership match played yesterday after sustaining a shoulder injury towards the end of last year. He was injured while fulfilling his national duty in the qualifiers of FIFA World Cup. The towering defender, who is also the Zebras captain, returned straight into Chiefs first 11.

However, his comeback was not fairytale ending he had hoped for as Chiefs suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns who were then crowned the 2023/-2024 champions.
